Pinacolborane 1 is a hydroboration reagent that offers several advantages over catecholborane; milder reaction conditions, higher functional group tolerance, and better regio- and stereo-selectivity. Compound 1 can be used for the direct introduction of boronates by its reaction with alkenes, alkynes, or aryl halides. The resulting pinacolboronates, which display excellent aqueous and chromatographic stability, can be further used in C-C bond forming reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura couplings.
