Sterically unencumbered diborenes based on a benzylphosphine chelate undergo diboration reactions with bis(catecholato)diboron in the absence of a catalyst to yield tetraboranes. The symmetrical diborenes studied undergo 1,2-diborations, whereas an unsymmetrical derivative was found to yield a triborylborane-phosphine adduct as the result of a formal 1,1-diboration. A related borylborylene compound also underwent a 1,2-diboration to produce a borylene-borane adduct.
