Jul 22, 2015 · Your assertions are correct, for the most part. $\ce {BH3}$ is a Lewis acid, and it does not reduce carbonyl groups by directly donating a hydride group like $\ce {NaBH4}$ does. The $\ce …

Aug 1, 2018 · BBr3 is more acidic than BCl3 due to weaker pi back bonding in BBr3 as compared to BCl3.BCl3 is stronger acid than BH3 due to electron withdrawing effect of Cl make B becomes more …

Mar 19, 2017 · In BH3, Boron is less electronegative than H (i.e. hydrogen) , hence in the syn addition I have shown, hydrogen ends up being attached to a more substituted carbon atom.

Jan 30, 2022 · Why does BH3/THF reduce the carbonyl group to a methylene rather than an alcohol? Ask Question Asked 3 years, 10 months ago Modified 3 years, 10 months ago

Mar 28, 2015 · What is the mechanism of the reduction of organic acids with borane? Borane reductions don't work well with electron deficient carbonyl groups. Why is that so, and how isn't the carboxyl …

Feb 14, 2019 · The reduction of secondary amides with BH3 requires 3 equivalents, mechanism shown below image sourced from here. The borane becomes HB=O which may transform further depending …

May 4, 2012 · Diborane has the interesting property of having two 3-centered bonds that are each held together by only 2 electrons (see the diagram below, from Wikipedia). These are known as "banana …

Jun 29, 2017 · Why BH3 its classified as a "Molecular Hydride" and AlH3 its a "Intermediary Hydride" Ask Question Asked 8 years, 5 months ago Modified 8 years, 5 months ago

Aug 29, 2022 · Sterics is the deciding factor in hydroboration which occurs at the least hindered carbon, thus you get the primary alcohol from limonene. The hydroboration of limonene is discussed here …

Apr 17, 2020 · Can someone provide a visual (picture) showing the "mixing" of the atomic orbitals to create the three hybrid orbitals (while maintaining the same orientation of BH3 as in my first image)? …
