Ferrocenes, Trimethyl-l-propynyltin, 1,1-Organoboration, Alkenyltin Compounds, X-Ray The reactions of various diorganoborylferrocenes, F c -B R 2 [1, R = Me (a), Et (b), 'Pr (c), 'Bu (d), Ph (f), R2B = 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl (e)] and 1,1 '-bis(9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl)-ferrocene (2) with trimethyl-l-propynyltin (3) were studied, and the products of the 1,1-organoboration were characterized as the alkenyltin compounds 4 -6 by 'H, UB, 13C and 119Sn NMR. In the cases of l a -I d and If, there is competition between the transfer of a ferrocenyl group and the other organyl groups R from boron to carbon, whereas in the case of the 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives le and 2, the enlargement of the bicyclic system takes place selectively (compounds 4e and 6). The molecular structure of the product 6, obtained from the reaction between the l,l'-diborylated ferrocene 2 and two equivalents of 3, was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis (space group P2x!c\ monoclinic; Z = 4, a = 958.3(2), b = 1610.4(3), c = 2405.3(5) pm and ß = 90.33(3)°).
