Аннотация:Minimalist N-heterocyclic carbene boranes 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylideneborane and 2,4-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylideneborane are readily available and have low molecular weights. They exhibit superior performance to first-generation NHC−boranes, providing improved yields in reductions of xanthates and related functional groups.
