Base induced isomerisation of a phosphaethynolato-borane: mechanistic insights into boryl migration and decarbonylation to afford a triplet phosphinidene

We report on the (tert-butyl)isocyanide-catalysed isomersation of a phosphaethynolato-borane, [B]OCP ([B] = N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-diazaboryl), to its linkage isomer, a phosphaketenyl-borane, [B]PCO. Mechanistic insight into this unusual isomerisation was gained through...
