The boron-nitrogen analogue of ortho-benzyne, 1,2-azaborinine, is a reactive intermediate that features a formal boron-nitrogen triple bond. We here show by combining experimental and computational techniques that the Lewis acidity of the boron center of dibenzo[c,e] [1,2]azaborinine allows interaction with the silicon containing single bonds SiÀ E through the silicon bonding partner E (E = F, Cl, OR, H). The binding to boron activates the SiÀ E bonds for subsequent insertion reaction. This shows that the BN-aryne is a ferocious species that even can activate and insert into the very strong SiÀ F bond.
