M. Suginome et al., Synthesis of (boryl)(silyl)iminomethanes by insertion of isonitriles into silicon-boron bonds, ORGANOMETAL, 19(5), 2000, pp. 719-721
The insertion of alkyl and aryl isonitriles into the silicon-boron bond of
silylboranes proceeded thermally to provide (boryl)(silyl)iminomethanes in
moderate-to-good yields. The (boryl)(silyl)iminomethane reacted with borane
(BH3) to give the corresponding borane complex in good yield, whose crysta
l structure was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis.
