A piece of the π : A nucleophilic carbene‐stabilized boryl anion has been prepared by reduction (see scheme). Reactions of this boracycle indicated its nucleophilicity on a π orbital of the central boron atom. The significance of this work is presented along with a background on nucleophilic boron reagents and boracycles.
