SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Alkenes are hydroborated with LiBH4 in the presence of UCl4, NdCl3 or ZrCl4, by following the reactivity sequence tetramethylethylene > 1-methylcyclohexene ![[double greater-than, compressed]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_2aa2.gif)
2-methylpropene or hex-1-ene (no reaction); treatment of U(BH4)4with tetramethylethylene affords the uranium tetrakis(thexylborohydride)[U(BH3R)4](R = CMe2CMe2H).
