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
Emergence of a Novel Catalytic Radical Reaction: Titanocene-Catalyzed Reductive Opening of Epoxides
TL;DR: In this article, the preparatively important catalytic opening of epoxides to β-titanoxy radicals via single-electron transfer (SET) is described, where the radicals can be reduced to alcohols or participate in C−C bond-forming reactions.
Patent
Stabilized deuteroborane-tetrahydrofuran complex
TL;DR: In this paper, a stabilized deuteroborane-tetrahydrofuran complex is presented, which exhibits enhanced shelf life and increased self-accelerated decomposition temperatures.
Book ChapterDOI
Boranes in Organic Chemistry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss boranes in organic chemistry, diborane as a reducing agent, volatile compounds of uranium, the alkali metal hydride approach to borane, and borohydrides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of CO2 Affinity in a Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity by Amine Modification
Christopher R. Mason,Louise Maynard-Atem,Kane W. J. Heard,Bekir Satilmis,Peter M. Budd,Karel Friess,Marek Lanč,Paola Bernardo,Gabriele Clarizia,Johannes C. Jansen +9 more
TL;DR: Nitrile groups in the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 were reduced to primary amines using borane complexes and the size-sieving properties of the polymer are increased, which can be attributed to a higher stiffness of the system arising from hydrogen bonding of the amine groups.
