We demonstrate an efficient protocol for the chemoselective hydroboration of organic nitriles with pinacolborane (HBpin) and catecholborane (HBcat) using aluminum alkyl complex [kappa(2)-{2-F-C6H4NP(Se)Ph-2}(2)Al-(Me)] as a pre-catalyst to afford diboryl amines under solvent-free and mild conditions (60 degrees C) in high yield. The aluminum complex was prepared by the reaction of [2-F-C6H4NHP(Se)Ph-2] and trimethylaluminum in toluene. The solid-state structure of Al complex is established. Nitriles with a wide array of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functional groups were easily converted to the desired products through the formation of aluminum hydride as an active species. A kinetic study of the catalytic reaction is also reported.
