69. [18] the very few known PBBP butadiene systems feature amino substituents at the boron atoms, which prevent rearrangement: a) H. Nöth, W. Schraegle, Chem. Ber. 1964, 97, 2374-2384;

71. The only other known PBBP butadiene system without amino groups at the boron atoms is part of a six-membered ring and, therefore, does not rearrange; it has an s-cis configuration: B. Kaufmann, R. Jetzfellner, E. Leissring, K. Issleib, H. Nöth, M. Schmidt, Chem. Ber. 1997, 130, 1677-1692.
