Cyclopropylacetylene reacts with two molar equivalents of Piers' borane [HB(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] under mild conditions by an addition/rearrangement sequence with cyclopropyl ring opening to give a mixture of two α-B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub> substituted tetrahydroboroles. This compound forms an active frustrated Lewis pair with P <sup><i>t</i></sup> Bu<sub>3</sub> that heterolytically splits dihydrogen and adds carbon dioxide as a geminal chelate bis-boryl compo ...[more]
