9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane or 9-BBN is an organoborane compound. This colourless solid is used in organic chemistry as a hydroboration reagent. The compound exists as a hydride-bridged dimer, which easily cleaves in the presence of reducible substrates.[1] Like other organoboron compounds, 9-BBN is pyrophoric.

9-BBN is prepared by the reaction of 1,5-cyclooctadiene and borane usually in etherial solvents.[2] The compound is commercially available as a solution in tetrahydrofuran and as a solid. 9-BBN is especially useful in Suzuki reactions.[3]

Its highly stereoselective addition on olefins allows the preparation of terminal alcohols by subsequent oxidative cleavage with H2O2 in aq. KOH. The steric demand of 9-BBN greatly suppresses the formation of the 2-substituted isomer compared to the use of borane.
