Solvent-free Zn (NSNO) complex-catalysed dihydroboration of nitriles
Saeed Ataie, Jeffrey S. Ovens, R. Tom Baker
Abstract
A zinc complex uses its aryloxide ( vs. amido) donor to generate a Zn–H catalyst that effects quantitative, solvent-free hydroboration of nitriles to the corresponding diborylamines at 1 mol% catalyst loading.
