…The reverse of this reaction, alkene insertion into the M―H bond, is illustrated by the hydroboration and hydrosilation reactions discussed above. Both the β-hydrogen elimination and addition of M―H across a C=C double bond are thought to proceed through a cyclic intermediate involving a three-centre, two-electron bond where a hydrogen…
