(Arenesulfonyl)hydrazone derivatives of aryl aldehydes
are readily alkylated by trialkylboranes in
the presence of base to generate new organoboranes that may be
converted to the corresponding
substituted alkanes or alcohols depending upon the reaction conditions
chosen. Both tosyl- and
trisylhydrazone derivatives can be utilized in the reaction, which
tolerates a variety of functional
groups, making it a versatile alternative to both the Grignard and
Suzuki-coupling reactions.
