1. For catalytic hydroboration , Pinacol pinacolborane and catecholborane are widely used. 2. Catalyzed hydroboration -oxidation of substituted alkenes can be rendered enantioselective. 3. Organoboron compounds are Grignard reagents through hydroboration , or diboration reactions. 4. This colourless solid is used in organic chemistry as a hydroboration reagent. 5. The hydroboration reaction is a useful reaction to functionalize alkenes to alcohols. 6. Such modified hydroboration reagents include 9-BBN, catecholborane, and disiamylborane. 7. In terms of regioselectivity, the catalyzed hydroboration differs from the uncatalyzed parallel. 8. Another research subtheme is metal-catalysed hydroboration . 9. The difference in regioselectivity is more pronounced in the hydroboration of vinylarenes with HBcat. 10. The hydroboration of alkynes gives vinylic boranes which oxidize to the corresponding aldehyde or ketone.
