Cationic terminal borylene complexes: Interconversion of amino and alkoxy borylenes by an unprecedented Meerwein-Ponndorf hydride transfer.

(Chemical Equation Presented) It's all new to B: In the reaction of borylene complex 1 with benzophenone, a Meerwein-Ponndorf β-hydride transfer from the aminoborylene ligand to the coordinated ketone generates 2 (see structure), the first example of an imine-donor-stabilized borylene complex,...
