Transition metal- and solvent-free anti-Markovnikov selective protoboration of alkenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron

Abstract

An efficient and anti-Markovnikov selective transition metal- and solvent-free Lewis base-mediated protoboration of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as the boron reagent is reported. This protocol is practical...
