The acceptor substituent on the dicoordinated boron of methyleneborane 1 increases the Lewis acidity of 1 . This explains the spontaneous transformation of 1 to the cyclic methyleneborane 2 . The unusual geometry of the five‐membered ring in 2 is due to strong σ–π interactions. The B‐B‐B three‐center two‐electron bond is the simplest of its kind. R = 2,3,5,6‐Me 4 C 6 H.
