Carbodiphosphorane-Catalyzed Hydroboration of Ketones and Imines

Abstract

We report the use of a cyclic carbodiphosphorane catalyst for ketone and imine hydroboration reactions. To our knowledge, this represents the first use of a carbodiphosphorane as an organocatalyst. The carbodiphospohorane shows superior catalytic activity compared to other neutral carbon nucleophiles tested.
