Dicobalt octacarbonyl reacts with (9-fluorenylidene)(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino)borane (1) at ambient conditions in an unexpected [2+2]-cycloaddition to yield an oxaboretane derivative (2). The structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Similarities between the complex 2 and other oxaboretanes are discussed.
