The activation of B-H and B-Cl bonds in boranes by base-stabilized low-valent silicon compounds is described. The reaction of the amidinato amidosilylene-borane adduct [L{Ar(Me3Si)N}SiBH3] [1; L = PhC(N tBu)2, and Ar = 2,6- iPr2C6H3] with MeOTf in toluene at room temperature formed [L{Ar(Me3Si)N}SiB...
