“…Several research groups have reported the regioselective and stereoselective hydroboration of alkynes and alkenes to produce vinyl boronates and alkyl boronate, catalyzed by transition metals such as Fe, Co, Cu, Ru, Rh, and Ir . Additionally, there are some reports of hydroboration of carbonyl compounds affording boronic esters, catalyzed by Co, Fe, and Ru. − Main-group metal-catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkynes and organic nitriles is also well reported in the literature. − Using commercially available aluminum hydride ( i Bu 2 AlH) and LiAlH 4 or sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) is a well-known means of reduction of alkynes and alkenes, followed by aryl and alkyl nitriles . However, these reagents are combustible and generate large amounts of inorganic waste, which render the process unfavorable.…”
