Abstract

Undue influence: N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were found to reduce the strength of the BH bonds of borane by a surprisingly large amount upon the formation of NHC–BH~3~ complexes. This property was exploited in the development of a suite of NHC–borane complexes for the reduction of xanthates in radical‐mediated Barton–McCombie‐type deoxygenation reactions (see scheme).
