Chiral NHCs have found numerous applications as ligands for transition metals and in their own right for asymmetric catalysis. We report a synthetic route from L-malic acid to enantiopure 1,2,3-triazoliums with the chiral center in a fused ring.

A formal carbon insertion of acylsilanes into B–B and B–Si bonds has been developed. The in situ formed siloxycarbene under blue LED irradiation worked as the intermediate for the reaction. When 2-furyl and 2-thiophenyl acylsilanes were used, the B(pin) ring was enlarged to a six-membered ring.
