General description

9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is an organic compound, which is generally used as a hydroborating agent. It is thermally stable, less sensitive to oxygen and water when compared to other dialkyl boranes. It is commonly used to prepare aldehydes from alkynes.

Application

Protecting group for alkenes†

Reactant for:
  • Linear SPPS synthesis of ubiquitin derivatives
  • Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of organoboron compounds with primary alkyl halides and pseudohalides
  • Intramolecular insertion of alkenes into palladium-nitrogen bonds
  • Preparation of (phosphonoacetyl)ornithine to study effect on arginine biosynthetic genes in yeast
  • Hetero-Diels-Alder reaction for synthesis of spirocyclic alkaloids
Differentiation of symmetrical diols by reduction of the corresponding cyclic acetals with 9-BBN.
Selective hydroboration reduction reagent.

Several useful aryl/alkyl building blocks for dendrimer and hyperbranched polymer synthesis were prepared by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and iododesilylation reactions. The iododesilylations were carried out with iodine monochloride (ICl) in methylene chloride and diethyl ether (10:1). This solvent combination lowered
