Abstract

The use of hexamethyldisilazane lithium as a precatalyst enables a lithium-promoted hydroboration of alkynes and alkenes with HBpin as the hydride source. This method offers a remarkable substrate tolerance and good yields. The hydroboration proceeds through in situ-formed BH₃ driving the turnover of the hydroboration of alkynes and alkenes.
