Attempts toward a Silyl-Stabilized Dicoordinate Borylene: Insertion of Carbon Dioxide into the B-Si Bond
{{output}}
One-electron reduction of the carbene-stabilized borane (Me2-cAAC)B(Cl)2Si(SiMe3)3, 1, with potassium naphthalenide gave the radical (Me2-cAAC)B(Cl)Si(SiMe3)3, 2. A subsequent one-electron reduction of 2 yielded the dicoordinate borylene (Me2-cAAC)BSi(SiMe3)3,... ...
