A catalytic hydroboration of various ketones and aldehydes can be achieved in the presence of inexpensive and commercially available inorganic salts containing fluoride anion. As a result, the reduction of carbonyl moieties to the corresponding primary and secondary alcohols can be achieved at room temperature under mild conditions.
