Room temperature hydrogenation of an SIDep-stabilized diboryne (SIDep=1,3-bis(diethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) and a cAAC-supported diboracumulene (cAAC=1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) provided the first selective route to the corresponding 1,2-dihydrodiborenes. DFT calculations showed an overall exothermic (ΔG=19.4 kcal mol ) two-step asynchronous H addition mechanism proceeding via a bridging hydride.
