Among the various hydroborating reagents, 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane di- mer (9-BBN) has found the most extensive use because of its unique proper- 2 ties, convenient preparation, commercial availability and enormous synthetic applications. Many research papers and some review articles have been published on the synthetic importance of 9-BBN and its derivatives, B-R-9-BBN. However, no singlemanuscriptisavailableontheburgeoningliteratureofB-R-9-BBNforthe convenientaccesstoworkingchemists,teachersandstudents. TheaimofthebookistoprovideorganoboranechemistryofB-R-9-BBNina fast,organizedandillustrated,easilyreadable,andintroductoryfashion. The second aim to prepare this book is to classify a variety of organic reac- tions ofB-R-9-BBN and describethese reactionsin a clear manner so that or- ganicchemistscanuseforthesynthesisofintricatemolecules. Ihopethebookwillstimulatethechemiststoexplore,further,thepotential of B-R-9-BBN intermediates for developing new synthetic methodologies and indesigningorganicsyntheses.
