title: Radical-type reactivity of the 1,3-dibora-2,4-diphosphoniocyclobutane-1,3-diyl.
abstract: Despite through-space and through-bond B-B interactions, the stable 1,3-bora-2,4-diphosphoniocyclobutane-1,3-diyl displays some radical-type behavior, as illustrated by the spontaneous formation of the trans 1,3-adduct with trimethyltin hydride and a B-spiro derivative with bromotrichloromethane.
