Abstract

Binary catalyst systems comprising a cationic Ru–CNC pincer complex and an alkali metal salt were developed for selective hydroboration of CO2 utilizing pinacolborane at r.t. and 1 atm CO2, with the combination of [Ru(CNCBn)(CO)2(H)][PF6] and KOCO2tBu producing formoxyborane in 76% yield. A bicyclic catalytic mechanism was proposed and discussed.
