Pinacolborane is the borane with the formula (CH3)4C2O2BH. Often pinacolborane is abbreviated HBpin.[1] It features a boron hydride functional group incorporated in a five-membered C2O2B ring. Like related boron alkoxides, pinacolborane is monomeric. It is a colorless liquid.[2] It features a reactive B-H functional group.[3]

Use in organic synthesis edit

In the presence of catalysts, pinacolborane hydroborates alkenes and, less rapidly, alkynes.[3][4]

Pinacolborane also affects catalyst-free hydroboration of aldehydes,[5] ketones,[6] and carboxylic acids.[7]

Pinacolborane is used in borylation, a form of C-H activation.[8][9]

Dehydrogenation of pinacolborane affords dipinacolatodiborane (B2pin2):[10]

2 (CH3)4C2O2BH → (CH3)4C2O2B-BO2C2(CH3)4 + H2
