Hydroboration of the conjugated enynes 1 a and 1 b with Piers’ borane [HB(C 6 F 5 ) 2 ] gave the respective dienylboranes trans ‐ 2 c and trans ‐ 2 d . Their photolysis resulted in the formation of the dihydroborole products 3 c and 3 d . Both were converted to their pyridine adducts 5 c and 5 d , respectively. Compounds 3 c and 5 c,d were characterized by X‐ray diffraction. The reaction of the bis(enynyl)boranes 6 a and 6 b with B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 resulted in the formation of the dihydroboroles 7 a and 7 b , respectively. This reaction is thought to proceed by 1,1‐carboboration of one of the enynyl substituents at boron to generate the dienylborane intermediates 8 a / 8 b , followed by thermally induced bora‐Nazarov ring‐closure and subsequent stabilizing 1,2‐pentafluorophenyl group migration from boron to carbon. Compound 7 a was characterized by X‐ray diffraction and solid‐state 11 B NMR spectroscopy.
