Fig. 4: CoI2/KOtBu catalyzed dihydroboration of nitriles.
From: Selective hydroboration of unsaturated bonds by an easily accessible heterotopic cobalt catalyst
Reaction conditions: HBPin (2.2 mmol) was added to a mixture of CoI2 (0.5–2.0 mol%), KOtBu (0.1 mmol, 10 mol%) and 5 (1.0 mmol) in anhydrous Et2O (2 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred under N2 at 30 °C for 4.0–24.0 h. Isolated yield of the corresponding ammonium salt is shown.
