Ab initio calculations have been performed with second‐order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) to understand the mechanisms of alkyne haloboration. The present study throws light on three important aspects of this reaction: (1) reaction routes, (2) stereoconversion pathways, and (3) physicochemical uniqueness. Thecis‐Markovnikov reaction route is controlled by a characteristic four‐centered transition state, reflecting the roles of alkynes and boron halides, and also the stability of the product. For the stereoconversion pathways, a boron‐halide‐mediated addition–elimination process appears to be most favorable. Nevertheless, the high activation barrier suggests that prolonged heating with excess boron halide (commonly used in synthesis) would favorcis/transisomerization. Finally, comparison with other halometalations showed clear thermodynamic and kinetic advantages of haloboration as a unique, catalyst‐free protocol among many elemento‐metalation reactions.
