N2 - The alkaline-earth element bis(trimethylsilyl)amides, [Ae{N(SiMe3)2}2(thf)2] [Ae=Mg, Ca, Sr], are effective precatalysts for boron-nitrogen bond formation through the desilacoupling of amines, RR′NH (R=alkyl, aryl; R′=H, alkyl, aryl), and pinBSiMe2Ph. This reactivity also yields a stoichiometric quantity of Me2PhSiH and provides the first example of a catalytic main-group element-element coupling that is not dependent on the concurrent elimination of H2.
