Layman's explanation:
9-Borobicyclo[3.3.1]-nonane (9-BBN) is a solid material that reacts readily with water to form a borinic acid and hydrogen. It is extremely susceptible to air oxidation and may spontaneously combust and therefore handled in solutions. However, it has limited solubility in hydrocarbons, ethers, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. 9-BBN is mainly used for regioselective hydroboration reactions and also valuable in selected functional group reductions. It is an excellent reagent for the preparation of boron containing polymers for polymer derivatization. It is also used as mild reducing agent for ketones and aldehydes.
