| Abstract: | The “η2‐formylborane” moiety formed by CO reduction with HB(C6F5)2 at a P/B frustrated Lewis pair template undergoes a hydroxymethylation reaction at the α‐position to nitrogen in pyridine or isoquinoline. The analogous reaction with pyrimidine revealed a mechanism related to the Tschitschibabin reaction. |
