Journal ArticleDOI
Forty years of hydride reductions
TL;DR: In this article, it was observed that diborane, a hydride, reduces aldehydes and ketones with exceptional ease even at 0°, and since then various reagents have evolved for the convenient reduction of typical organic functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral synthesis via organoboranes. 6. Asymmetric allylboration via chiral allyldialkylboranes. Synthesis of homoallylic alcohols with exceptionally high enantiomeric excess
TL;DR: The effect of changes in the chiral ligand on boron has also been studied in this article, showing that wide variations in the structure of the allylic moiety can be accommodated.
