The utilization of hydrogen in safety conditions is crucial for the development of a hydrogen-based economy. Among all methodologies, solid-state hydrogen release from ammonia borane through thermal stimuli is very promising due to the high theoretical hydrogen release. Generally, carbonaceous or inorganic matrices have been used to tune the reactivity of ammonia borane.

Ammonia borane and amine boranes are main group analogues of alkanes, which are characterised by their large gravimetric hydrogen content. This hydrogen can be released in dehydrocoupling and dehydropolymerisation reactions to obtain B-N oligomers and polymers that are of importance as precursors for functional B-N materials. Furthermore, amine boranes are potent reagents for application in transfer hydrogenation reactions, representing a versatile, easy-to-handle alternative to the use of gaseous hydrogen for the reduction of organic compounds.

A simple and sustainable protocol has been developed to reduce isocyanates to the N-methyl anilines under metal-free conditions. The reaction proceeds with BF ⋅ OEt as a catalyst and ammonia borane as a hydrogen source in THF at room temperature, leading to the formation of a wide range of substituted aniline derivatives. Control experiments and deuterium labeling studies were performed to understand the mechanism of the present procedure.
