Popis: The commercial 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane dimer is used as the first example of a metal-free catalyst for the monohydroboration of carbodiimides with pinacol borane. Stoichiometric reactions, kinetic studies, and DFT calculations have allowed us to propose a plausible mechanism involving a heterocyclic amidinate intermediate with a three center-two electron B-H-B bond.
