Diborane(4) compounds are versatile reagents in synthetic chemistry. Generally, diboranes(4) with sp2-hybridized boron atoms react as electrophiles. By contrast, the chemistry of nucleophilic diborane(4) two sp3-hybridized is very much underdeveloped. In this work, we systematically vary substituents electron-rich bridging guanidinate substituents. way, five new diboranes synthesized and fully characterized.
