Commercially available and inexpensive lithium triethylborohydride (LiHBEt3) acts as efficient catalyst for the solvent-free hydroboration of a wide range of aldehydes and ketones, which were subsequently transformed to corresponding 1° and 2° alcohols in one-pot procedure at room temperature (rt).
Chiral styrene oxides from α-haloacetophenones using NaBH4 and TarB-NO2, a chiral Lewis acid

High enantioselectivities are obtained for the preparation of chiral styrene oxides through reduction of α-haloacetophenones using TarB-NO 2 reagent and the inexpensive and mild reducing agent NaBH 4. The epoxides are easily obtained in up to 95% ee through routine acid-base workup of the product alcohols. Either the (R) or (S) epoxide can be obtained by using the appropriate l- or d-tartaric acid starting material in the TarB-NO2 reagent.
