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.

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.

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.

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.

Enhancement of CO2 Affinity in a Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity by Amine Modification

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.
