Application

Catalyst for:
  • Allylation of aldehydes
  • Decarboxylative C-C bond cleavage reactions
  • Rhenium hydride / boron Lewis acid cocatalysis of alkene hydrogenations
  • Regioselective hydroxyalkylation of unsaturated oxime ethers

Reactant for radical reductions of alkyl bromides with N-heterocyclic carbene boranes

The structures of the components in the triethylborane-mediated radical addition reaction of oxime ether were investigated by 1H- and 3D-DOSY NMR methods. It has been impossible to physically separate the unstable intermediates; therefore, the structures were thus far unidentified. It
