Lewis base promoted selective reduction of CO 2 into boryl formates by using BH 3 NH 3 as a reductant under mild conditions has been reported. The boryl formates, generated in situ, were shown to be reactive and versatile sources of formyl compounds to create new C–N, C–O, and C–C bonds. The reactivity of the boryl formates to yield formic acid, formamides, formates, secondary alcohols, and benzoheterocyclic rings was investigated.
