Boranes were getting borin' : Owing to the Lewis acidic character of the central carbon atom, a bisfluorenyl‐substituted allene 1 could be used instead of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 for the generation of frustrated Lewis pairs. Mixtures of the allene and the bulky N‐heterocyclic carbene shown in red (Dipp=diisopropylphenyl) caused heterolytic cleavage of the SS bond in disulfides.
