Although the metathesis of metal–boron double bonds with elemental chalcogenides is an established process, no similar reactivity has been observed with element–nitrogen bonds. Such a reaction would provide a new route to iminoborane compounds (RB≡NR′), which have recently experienced renewed synthetic interest. Herein, we present the first observation of M=B/C=N metathesis reactions, which led to the isolation of a stable iminoborane in addition to further iminoborane cycloaddition products.
