Hydrogens in 9-BBN don't have two single bonds (that's impossible). B-H-B bond is three-centre two-electron bond (only two electrons form bond between these three atoms). I found nice description of this bond here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diborane#Structure_and_bonding For each bond you need 1 electron from boron, 1 electron from hydrogen and 1 empty orbital from the second boron. You can find this type of bond in various compounds and ions, like boranes, Al2H6, Ga2H6, BeH2, MgH2, H3+, carboranes, protonated hydrocarbons (CH5+, C2H7+ etc.)... There are more kind of x-centre y-electron bonds, they are called electron deficient bonds.

Impressive to see that all these reactions can be performed under air. In my undergrad and in the literature people often claim that these boron reagents are highly air sensitive. Seems to not be the case.

One thing to remember is that chemists love to waste time. They will do inert atmosphere for everything in their research even if it's not necessary. There are some reactions where it is absolutely necessary and it will fail without inert atm, but 90% of the time it will still work. Sometimes it might reduce yield by like 10%, sometimes it doesn't change anything. I am working on one vid where they did a reaction inert, and i got the same yield as them in air lol.

@@Chemiolis I dont think so. Takes just seconds to add a balloon of Argon or Minutes to degas your solvents, if you have it available. Potentially saves you hours tho, when a reaction fails due to it.

Simple boranes are very sensitive to both air and water, because they are not sterically hindered. This borane, BBN, nonabicycloborane is much more hindered then things such as trimethylborane, so it is much more tolerant of air and water.

You are being really unfair to chemists about this. There are a lot of really good reasons to use an inert atmosphere. One of the reasons is safety. Many solvents used in organic chemistry are flammable and having an inert atmosphere reduces the risk of starting a fire.

The bananas shown at 0:07 aren't correct... The B-H-B bond in the middle is actually the namesake known as a banana bond. Its noteworthy because if you think about it, it's showing a hydrogen with two bonds. This is actually the single electron from the hydrogen delocalized between two boron orbitals interacting with one electron and one orbital at a time. It's bananas.
