Hydroboration and Diboration of Internal Alkynes Catalyzed by a Well-Defined Low-Valent Cobalt Catalyst

Published as part of the Special Topic Cobalt in Organic Synthesis

Abstract

The use of a simple well-defined low-valent cobalt(I) catalyst [HCo(PMe₃)₄] capable of performing the regio- and stereoselective hydroboration of internal alkynes is reported. Extension to the diboration of internal alkynes is also related using the same reaction conditions.

Key words

cobalt - hydroboration - diboration - regioselectivity - low-valent
