Abstract
A one-electron reduction of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC)-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminodichloroborane adduct leads to a stable aminoboryl radical. A second one-electron reduction gives rise to a CAAC-aminoborylene adduct, which features an allenic structure. However, in manner similar to that of stable electrophilic singlet carbenes, this compound activates small molecules, such as CO and H2.Entities:
