Olefin hydroboration catalyzed by an iron-borane complex

Abstract

The well-defined iron(0) complex [(iPrDPBPh)Fe2-(μ-1,2-N2)] (A) reacts with HBpin to afford the complex [(η3-H2iPrDPB)Fe(η3-H2Bpin)] (B) via oxidative addition of the H–B bond. Complex A is an effective pre-catalyst for the hydroboration of a range of olefins in synthetically useful yields (typically >80%) under neat conditions.
