Pinacolborane is the borane with the formula (CH₃)₄C₂O₂BH. Often pinacolborane is abbreviated HBpin. It features a boron hydride functional group incorporated in a five-membered C₂O₂B ring. Like related boron alkoxides, pinacolborane is monomeric. It is a colorless liquid. It features a reactive B-H functional group.

Use in organic synthesis

In the presence of catalysts, pinacolborane hydroborates alkenes and, less rapidly, alkynes.

Pinacolborane also affects catalyst-free hydroboration of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids.

Pinacolborane is used in borylation, a form of C-H activation.

Dehydrogenation of pinacolborane affords dipinacolatodiborane (B₂pin₂):

2 (CH₃)₄C₂O₂BH → (CH₃)₄C₂O₂B-BO₂C₂(CH₃)₄ + H₂
