description

The unprecedented metal-mediated transformation of an alkyne into a B,B' bridging alkene is reported. Also, the unprecedented synthesis of a conjugated dialkene derivative of [3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- generated only from an alkyne, contrary to the usual case where an alkyne and an alkene are needed, is described. This has been possible through the singular capacity of a B-H to produce hydroboration.
