The reactivity of L2PhB: (1; L = oxazol-2-ylidene) as well as its transition-metal (chromium and iron) complexes toward main-group substrates have been systematically examined, which led to the construction of B–E (E = C, Ga, Cl, H, F, N) bonds. The combination of 1 and triethylborane smoothly captu...
