Coordination of a third NHSi to the proposed 1,1-diaryl- 2,2-disilyldiborane(4) intermediates, generated by a two-fold B-X insertion, may be crucial for the C-H borylation that leads to the final products. Notably, our results demonstrate the first C-H borylation with a strong B-F bond activated by silylene insertion.}, language = {en} }
