The reactivity of [2]boraferrocenophane [(η 5 ‐C 5 H 4 )–BNMe 2 –BNMe 2 –(η 5 ‐C 5 H 4 )Fe] ( 3 ) with borane and diborane compounds was examined, resulting in the complete loss of the–BNMe 2 –BNMe 2 – bridge and the concomitant formation of 1,1′‐borylated ferrocenes. With this unprecedented reactivity pattern, an alternative access to this class of compounds is established.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
