Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing alkenyl aminoboranes and their derivatives, and uses thereof. The method for preparing alkenyl aminoboranes includes contacting, preferably in a single synthesis step, a terminal alkyne, an aminoborane and a catalyst chosen from Schwartz's reagent (Cp2ZrHCl), dicyclohexylborane (HBCy), diisopinocamphenylborane (HBipc2) and 9-Borabicyclo(3.3.1)nonane (9-BBN).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for polymerizing at least one radically polymerizable compound having at least one ethylenic bond in the presence of a borane complex BH3 with an amine as a radical initiator, said process comprising the steps of: providing a borane complex BH3 with an amine; and bringing the complex into contact with a composition comprising at least one radically polymerizable compound having at least one ethylenic bond; wherein the polymerization is performed in the absence of an oxidizing agent and/or an additional radical initiator other than the borane complex BH3 with an amine. The invention also relates to a composition comprising at least one radically polymerizable compound having at least one ethylenic bond and a borane complex BH3 with an amine, wherein the composition is free of an oxidizing agent and/or an additional radical initiator other than the borane complex BH3 with an amine, as well as the use of said composition as an adhesive for bonding two substrates together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-component composition comprising: a part A comprising a complex of borane BH3 with an amine; a part B comprising a decomplexing agent for decomplexing the borane and the amine; and at least one radically polymerizable compound comprising at least one ethylenic bond, this compound being present in at least one of parts A and B; and also to the use of this composition as an adhesive for binding two substrates together.
