(C 6 F 5 ) 2 B‐halides were conveniently prepared by treatment of (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BH with tritylchloride or ‐bromide, respectively. With cyclopropylacetylene, (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BBr underwent sequential cis ‐1,2‐halogenoboration followed by 1,2‐carboboration to give the 4‐bromo‐2,4‐dicyclopropylbutadienyl‐B(C 6 F 5 ) 2 product. It reacted further with additional cyclopropylacetylene to give the linear triene and tetraene products in a metal‐free alkyne oligomerization reaction. The pyridine adduct of the initial diene product was characterized by X‐ray diffraction. (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BCl reacted analogously. Similar (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BX induced oligomerization reactions were carried out with two conjugated enynes.
