Synthesis of functionalized hydrosilanes via titanium-catalyzed hydroboration and hydrogenation of C(sp 3 )–Si bonds in silacyclobutanes

Nature Communications, Published online: 13 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-74224-4 The design and synthesis of molecules featuring both boron and silicon moieties hold significant promise for delivering unique reactivity patterns and material properties. Herein, the authors report a titaniumcatalyzed selective hydroboration of the C(sp3)–Si bonds in silacyclobutanes for the synthesis of boryl-functionalized hydrosilanes.
