Borane, as a DMS or a THF complex, can efficiently reduce a large range of ferrocenyl derivatives (aldehydes, ketones, ethers, acetals, carboxylic acids, esters,...) if they bear at least one oxygen at a carbon at the α position. On the contrary, similar molecules, which contain nitrogen instead of oxygen, do not react with borane.
