A series of bis-cycloborate olefin and butatriene derivatives were synthesized from alkynyl-bridged diboryl compounds using a simple reduction strategy. In the reduction route of 1,2-bis­[2-(dimesitylboranyl)­phenyl]­ethyne (1), bis-cycloborate olefin (4) to diborate-bridged stilbene (5) can be obta...
