Out with the metal : Metal‐free hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins can be achieved by employing HB(C 6 F 5 ) 2 as the catalyst. The key step in the catalytic reaction is believed to involve a novel borane‐mediated σ‐bond metathesis, which has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically.
