    …the 1979 prize for his hydroboration reaction (1956), the remarkably easy addition of BH3 (in the form of BH3 · S) to unsaturated organic compounds (i.e., alkenes and alkynes) in ether solvents (S) at room temperature to yield organoboranes quantitatively (that is, in a reaction that proceeds wholly, or almost…

    In borane: Reactions and synthesis of boranes

    The stereospecific hydroboration reaction mentioned above, 3RCH=CH2 + 1/2B2H6 → B(CH2CH2R)3 (where R is an alkyl group), nearly quantitatively yields organoboranes, which in turn can yield various organic compounds such as the alkane corresponding to the initial alkene or the primary alcohol.
