Our latest paper is now out in @J_A_C_S ! We unveil a new strategy to access elusive free oxoboranes—highly reactive species—via bridged boranoanthracenes and aromatization-driven extrusion. Congratulations to the team! https://t.co/9QolAtxnaE

We introduce a novel class of boranobornadiene derivatives, termed boranoanthracene, along with an in-depth study of their structures and reactivities. Using these versatile precursors, we propose a...
