Abstract

Out with the metal: Metal-free hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins can be achieved by employing HB(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub> as the catalyst. The key step in the catalytic reaction is believed to involve a novel borane-mediated σ-bond metathesis, which has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically.
