Abstract

Abstract : From traditional to sustainable : Catalysts with platinum‐group metals are well‐established in the field of hydroboration of C−C multiple bonds. However, the current mantra in catalysis is to employ "cheap metals for noble tasks". In this regard, we have developed a bis(phosphino)carbazolido magnesium‐methyl complex as a catalyst for the hydroboration of alkenes, alkynes, and biologically essential terpenes by using pinacolborane (HBpin) as a hydride donor.
