Lithium phenylacetylide reacts with 1 equiv. of

in thf–toluene to yield both a
thf adduct of tris(phenylacetylido)borane 2, which is probably the true
intermediate in RCCLi/BF

-promoted alkynyl anion
chemistry, and LiBF

, products which are considered to form
via sequential LiF elimination from previously proposed
acetylidoborate intermediates; complex 2 is the first structurally
characterised tris(alkynyl)borane and in the solid state it forms an
unusual hydrogen-bonded dimer.
