Used as a boron-based reagent in organic synthesis, particularly for hydroboration reactions where selective reduction of unsaturated bonds is required. It serves as a source of dichloroborane in a stabilized form, enabling controlled transfer of the BHCl2 group to alkenes and alkynes. This complex is valuable in the preparation of organoboranes that can be further transformed into alcohols, amines, or other functional groups through established downstream reactions. Its stability and reactivity profile make it suitable for use in sensitive transformations where precise boron delivery is needed. Commonly employed in research settings for the development of synthetic methodologies and in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
