Abstract
The sequential treatment of [Mo(≡CBr)(CO)2{HB(pzMe 2)3}] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) with nBuLi and ClBR2 (BR2 = B(NMe2)2, O 2C6H4) in tetrahydrofuran provides the borylcarbyne complexes [Mo(≡CBR2)(CO)2{HB(pzMe 2)3}], in contrast to the reactions of many haloborane electrophiles, which result in the formation of the hydroxypentylidyne complex [Mo{≡C(CH2)4OH}(CO)2{HB(pzMe 2)3}] via solvent ring opening.
