Hydroboration, discovered by Herbert C. Brown of Purdue University (co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1979), involves an addition of a H-B bond (a boron hydride) to an alkene. 

In 1967, Bengt Lindberg was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and was a member of the Nobel committee for chemistry between 1974 and 1987. He presented the prize winners of 1979 (Herbert Brown and Georg Wittig) and the prize winner of 1984 (Bruce Merrifield). He received a number of Swedish awards for his scientific contributions, including the Celsius medal (1985). He was awarded the Haworth Memorial Medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry (1981) and was the first non-American to receive the Hudson Award from the American Chemical Society (1983). 

Brown s discovery of hydroboration led to his being named a co-winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
