Synthesis of fused B,N-heterocycles by alkyne cleavage, NHC ring-expansion and C–H activation at a diboryne†
Abstract
The addition of alkynes to a saturated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-supported diboryne results in spontaneous cycloaddition, with complete B![[triple bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e002.gif) B and C
B and C![[triple bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e002.gif) C triple bond cleavage, NHC ring-expansion and activation of a variety of C–H bonds, leading to the formation of complex mixtures of fused B,N-heterocycles.
