Abstract
Barely bidentate: The adduct of dimethylamino naphthalene (proton sponge) and 9-BBN-NTf2 is activated by steric hinderance for intermolecular borylation (see scheme). A contrasting addition/elimination pathway is favored when using monodentate triethylamine which gives the first observable borenium salt (9-BBN-NEt3 + Tf2N-) lacking any n- or π-donor substitutents. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
