B[triple bond, length as m-dash]N and B[triple bond, length as m-dash]B triple bonds induce C-H activation of acetone to yield a (2-propenyloxy)aminoborane and an unsymmetrical 1-(2-propenyloxy)-2-hydrodiborene, respectively. DFT calculations showed that, despite their stark electronic differences, both the B[triple bond, length as m-dash]N and B[triple bond, length as m-dash]B triple bonds activate acetone <i>via</i> a similar coordination-deprotonation mechanism. In contrast, the reaction of a ...[more]
