Abstract
Highly efficient and selective hydroboration of nitriles and carbodiimides with pinacolborane (HBpin) is achieved by using the simple and convenient n-BuLi as a catalyst. Solvent-free and good functional group tolerance under mild conditions have been achieved. A possible mechanistic pathway of the n-BuLi catalyzed hydroboration of nitriles with HBpin is proposed.
