Taking the high road is what reactions of primary amine boranes do, according to results recently obtained by Manners and co‐workers, when a homogeneous catalyst is used to prepare soluble aminoborane polymers and copolymers (see scheme; pocop=ϰ 3 ‐1,3‐(OP t Bu 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ). Such metal‐catalyzed dehydrocoupling reactions for the synthesis of new BN analogues of α‐olefins are of fundamental interest for materials science.
