The present study emphasizes on synthesis and characterization of three ABs: Aniline-Borane (AAB), Triethylamine-Borane (TAB), and N,N-Dimethylaniline-Borane (DMAB). The AB reagents were characterized by ¹¹B-NMR spectra and new green procedure was developed to determine the active borane concentration by gasometer. Furthermore, the reactivity of AB complexes has been compared against 1-decene under microwave and ultrasound radiation for the first time. The outcome of gasometer and microwave, ultrasound reactions revealed that TAB is extremely stable and inert. Whereas AAB release borane species rapidly and complete the hydroboration of 1-decene.
