The activation of Si–H bonds is a very important transformation both in organic and inorganic chemistry. Herein we report that 1,2-dibenzoyl-o-carborane (1) reacts with Si–H bonds, yielding new hydrofurane-type products. The mechanism of this Si–H bond activation was studied both experimentally and by DFT calculations, and supposedly proceeds in an FLP-type manner.
