49. A possible mechanism could involve an oxidative addition of the B-H bond to Rh followed by β-migratory insertion of the Rh-B bond into the styrene substrate to generate an internal Rh-benzyl intermediate. Subsequent β-hydride elimination would produce the desired trans BN stilbene product and a Rh dihydride complex which hydrogenates a second styrene substrate to restart the catalytic cycle. This proposed mechanism is analogous with ones that have been proposed for the dehydrogenative borylation reactions of pinacol borane; see: Brown, J. M.; Lloyd-Jones, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 866-878
