title: Hydroboration of an alkene by amine-boranes catalysed by a [Rh(PR3)2]+ fragment. Mechanistic insight and tandem hydroboration/dehydrogenation.
abstract: The catalytic hydroboration of tert-butylethene using H(3)B·NMe(3) gives RH(2)B·NMe(3). With H(3)B·NMe(2)H tandem hydroboration under mild conditions/dehydrocoupling occurs that produces R(2)B=NMe(2) (R = H, CH(2)CH(2)(t)Bu).
