The reaction of 1-butyl-1-dibutylboryl-2-phenyl-2-diphenylphosphinoethene with phenyl isothiocyanate is a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition that involves the C = N segment of the heterocumulene; it gives 2,2,3-tributyl-6-thioxo-1,4,5,5-tetraphenyl-1-aza-5-phosphine-2-boratacyclohex-3-ene. Similarly products of the reaction of 1,2-borylphosphinoethene with diphenyl- and dicyclohexylcarbodiimides rearrange via the 1,2-B --> anionotropic C shift of the butyl fragment; the products are the respective 1,6,6-tributyl-3-imino-4,4,5-triphenyl-2-aza-4-phosphine-1-bora-tabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes.
