Abstract

The reaction of 1-chloro-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-boracylohexa-2,5-diene (1) with N-methylimidazole (NMI) results not in the anticipated borabenzene adduct [(NMI)→BC ₅H ₅] (3) but rather the title imidazole-stabilized cyclic boronium salt [(NMI) ₂BC ₅H ₅SiMe ₃-2]Cl ([2]Cl), which represents a rare example of a trapped intermediate or possible tangent en route to a neutral borabenzene adduct (3) which may be obtained by heating [2]Cl under vacuum.
