1,3-Dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene difluoroborane (NHC-BF2 H) was prepared in a one-pot, two-step reaction from the parent ligated borane (NHC-BH3 ). The derived difluoroboryl radical (NHC-BF2. ) was generated by laser flash photolysis experiments and characterized by UV spectroscopy and rate-constant measurements. It is

Reactions of readily available alkenyl triflates with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-boranes in the presence of diisopropyl ethyl amine provided about three dozen stable α-NHC-boryl ketones. Isolated yields were typically 40-56% for B-unsubstituted NHC-boranes (NHC-BH3), and somewhat lower for NHC-boranes with B-substituents
