The yields of hydroborations and reductions with borane complex 2 of 1 are very high and the recovery of 1 after the reaction is quantitative. The borane complexes 4 and 5 of 3 are also useful. In the latter case chromatographic separation is unnecessary when excess oxidizing agent (alkaline H2O2) is used after hydroboration. Key words odorless - sulfides - borane - hydroborations - reductions Full Text References References <A NAME="RF01404SS-1A">1a</A> Solladie G.
