Unexpected cluster formation upon hydroboration of a neutral diborene with 9-BBN.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reaction of the neutral, base-stabilised diborenes 1a,b with the well-known hydroboration reagent 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) is presented. This leads to the formation of a nonclassical structural motif with a B3 core concomitant with the cleavage of a B-C bond. This compound has been characterised in solution and by X-ray crystallography. According to Wade's rules these rare B3 clusters follow the arachno classification (2n + 6 electrons) and represent doubly base-stabilised B3H5 analogues.

Functional group chemistry at intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs: substituent exchange at the Lewis acid site with 9-BBN.
The vicinal frustrated P/B Lewis pair (FLP) Mes(2)PCH(2)CH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2) reacts with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) by C(6)F(5)vs. H exchange at boron to give the new [B]-H functionalized FLP Mes(2)PCH(2)CH(2)B(H)(C(6)F(5)) (4) and 9-C(6)F(5)-BBN. The latter was characterized as an isonitrile adduct by X-ray diffraction. The new FLP 4 forms an adduct with pyridine and it undergoes clean ...
متن کاملCopper-catalyzed stereoselective conjugate addition of alkylboranes to alkynoates
A copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of alkylboron compounds (alkyl-9-BBN, prepared by hydroboration of alkenes with 9-BBN-H) to alkynoates to form β-disubstituted acrylates is reported. The addition occurred in a formal syn-hydroalkylation mode. The syn stereoselectivity was excellent regardless of the substrate structure. A variety of functional groups were compatible with the conjugate addi...
متن کاملDitopic hydridoborates and hydridoboranes: bridging ligands in coordination polymers and versatile hydroboration reagents.
Single crystals of the meta- and para-phenylene-bridged ditopic trihydridoborates (Li(THF)(2))(2)[m-C(6)H(4)(BH(3))(2)] and (Li(THF)(2))(2)[p-C(6)H(4)(BH(3))(2)] have been prepared and investigated by X-ray crystallography. The compounds turned out to be coordination polymers in which each trihydridoborate substituent is connected with one trihydridoborate substituent of a neighbouring monomer ...

The 1,2-hydroboration of various alkyn-1-yl(chloro)silanes (3 – 7), derived from 1-hexyne (a) and ethynylbenzene (b), using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 9-BBN, affords selectively alkene derivatives in which the dialkylboryl and chlorosilyl groups are in geminal positions at the C=C bond. The molecular structure of (Z)-α-(9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]non-9-yl)-α-dichloro(phenyl)silyl-styrene (11b) was de...
متن کاملChallenges in predicting ΔrxnG in solution: the mechanism of ether-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes.
Ab initio (coupled-cluster and density-functional) calculations of Gibbs reaction energies in solution, with new entropy-of-solvation damping terms, were performed for the ether-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes. The goal was to test the accuracy of continuum-solvation models for reactions of neutral species in nonaqueous solvents, and the hope was to achieve an accuracy sufficient to address ...
