The reaction of ( S )‐prolinol (LH) with H 3 B · THF proceeds via [L 2 BH 2 <]BH 4 , which decomposes with elimination of hydrogen at ca. −40°C to give the BH 3 adduct of spirocyclic 7 . On heating, 7 loses more H 2 to give the “anomalous” dimerization product 11 , which features a tetracoordinated B atom in a “tetrahedral” BN 2 O 2 unit and another B atom in an N 2 BH 2 environment. It is also shown that the product resulting from the reaction of pseudoephedrin with H 3 B·THF undergoes an analogous anomalous dimerization, affording product 8 .
