Economical and eco-friendly aluminum hydrides were shown to be highly efficient catalysts for the solvent-free hydroboration of various nitriles using pinacolborane. The catalytic activities of three organic aluminum hydrides were compared. Mechanism investigation experiments revealed that nitrile w...
