A process for preparing boratabenzene derivatives is provided. The process includes the hydrogenation of a compound containing a boranaphthalene functional group to form a boratabenzene-containing compound. Depending on the compound containing a boranaphthalene functional group, the resulting boratabenzene compound may be converted into a catalyst suitable for olefin polymerization. A process for forming a boratabenzene derivative from a halo-dioxaborolane is also provided. In this process, a halo-dioxaborolane is reacted with a piperylide salt for form a pentadienyl dioxaborolane. The pentadienyl-dioxaborolane is reacted with a strong base to form an intermediate boratacyclohexanediene salt. The intermediate boratacyclohexanediene salt is then reacted with a trialkylaluminum compound to form an alkylboratabenzene salt.
