Borylative radical cyclization of benzo[3,4]cyclodec‐3‐ene‐1,5‐diynes to provide 5‐borylated 6,7,8,9‐tetrahydrobenzo[ a ]azulenes has been developed. The experimental results suggest that the reaction proceeds by a radical chain mechanism, in which di‐ tert ‐butyl hyponitrite (TBHN) works as a good radical initiator to form boryl radicals from N‐heterocyclic carbene–boranes (NHC‐boranes). The present reaction is a rare model that illustrates addition of boryl radicals to alkynes.
