- Facile Synthesis of a Stable Dihydroboryl {BH2}? Anion
-
While the one-electron reduction of (CAACMe)BH2Br (CAACMe=1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) yields a hydride-shift isomer of the corresponding tetrahydrodiborane, a further reversible reduction leads to the first stable parent boryl anion, [(CAACMe)BH2]?, which acts as a powerful boron nucleophile.
