Barely bidentate : The adduct of dimethylamino naphthalene (proton sponge) and 9‐BBN‐NTf 2 is activated by steric hinderance for intermolecular borylation (see scheme). A contrasting addition/elimination pathway is favored when using monodentate triethylamine which gives the first observable borenium salt (9‐BBN‐NEt 3 + Tf 2 N − ) lacking any n‐ or π‐donor substitutents.
