Borazine is also known as "inorganic benzene". Because of their unique boron-nitrogen (B-N) isoelectronic structure, high thermal, chemical stability, and tunable electronic properties, borazine polymers are green candidates to replace traditional halogen-containing or hazardous polymers. This review describes the synthesis of borazine and its derivatives and their applications in the functionalization of polymeric materials, recent advances, directions of research, and potential for future development in various fields. The performance of borazine-based polymeric materials from thermal, mechanical, optical, electrical, catalytic and adsorption aspects is highlighted. Their potential applications in aerospace, electronics, energy, environment and other fields are also summarized.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
