A series of crystalline sp3-sp3 diboron(4) compounds were synthesized and shown to promote the facile reduction of water with dihydrogen formation. The application of these diborons as simple and effective dihydrogen and dideuterium sources was demonstrated by conducting a series of selective reductions of alkynes and alkenes, and hydrogen–deuterium exchange reactions using two-chamber reactors. Finally, as the water reduction reaction generates an intermediate borohydride species, a range of aldehydes and ketones were reduced by using water as the hydride source.
Direct enantioselective synthesis of syn-1,3-diols by the reaction of aldehydes with enol silyl ethers in the presence of a chiral borane complex. Successive asymmetric aldol reaction and asymmetric reduction with one promoter

A stoichiometric amount of the chiral borane 1 turned out to successively promote the asymmetric aldol reaction of aldehydes with enol silyl ethers and the following asymmetric reduction in one pot to afford syn-1,3-diols with high enantioselectivity.
