Abstract

Surgical reduction: N-Heterocyclic carbene–borane complexes such as depicted are neutral, organic soluble analogues of borohydride anions with a weak hydridic character, compatible with organometallic catalysis. They are applicable for surgical reductions in complex, multifunctional molecules.
