文摘The strong oxophilicity of actinide complexes prevents their applications in the transformation of oxygen-containing substrates.Herein,we report the use of a uranium(Ⅳ)alkyl complex as a catalyst for the hydroboration of carbonyl compounds.This reaction has good functional group tolerance and chemo-selectivity under mild conditions.This study represents the rare example of catalytic reaction promoted by a uranium alkyl complex and highlights the potential of uranium complexes in synthetic chemistry.
