All at 298 K, 0.223 M H3B·NMeH2, 1,2-F2C6H4 solvent. GPC data quoted relative to polystyrene standards (calibrated between 500 and 480 000 g/mol), triple column, RI detection, THF with 0.1 w/w% [NBu4]Br, 35 °C, sample concentration = 2 mg/cm3. Open conditions: periodic sampling by 11B NMR spectroscopy determined end point (e.g., 6 h for entry 4). Under H2 measurement conditions, the reaction was stopped when there was no significant change in H2 evolved.
