o ‐C 6 H 4 (SiR 3 − n H n )(BMes 2 ) ( 1 ; R=Me, Ph; n =1, 2) undergo MesH (Mes=mesityl) ligand exchange between the silicon atom and the boron atom to form o ‐C 6 H 4 (SiMesR 3 − n H n − 1 )(BMesH) ( 6 ) upon heating. The resulting hydroborane intermediates ( 6 ) immediately react with benzaldehyde to afford their corresponding benzyloxyboranes ( 5 ). A DFT study of model compounds reveals the transition states of the ligand exchange. A hydride abstraction from the silicon atom by the boron center is key to reaching the transition states, which include the tricoordinate silyl‐cation moiety and the tetracoordinate hydridoborate moiety.
