| Abstract | The addition of HBpin to PhC(NtBu)(2)SiN(SiMe3)(2) (1) results in the cleavage of the B-H bond in a cooperative fashion across the Si and amidinate-C sites. The reaction of 1 with benzaldehyde led to C-H bond activation with amidinate ring expansion leading to a five-membered heterocycle. In case of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, a C-C bond coupling takes place leading to a dioxasilolane derivative as the major product.  |
