Magnesium Boryl Reactivity with 9‐BBN and Ph(3)B: Rational B−B′ Bond Formation and Diborane Isomerization

Reactions of a magnesium‐based pinacolatoboryl nucleophile with the electrophilic organoboranes, 9‐BBN and Ph(3)B, provide facile B−B′ single bond formation. Although the Ph(3)B derivative is thermally stable, when heated, the unsymmetrical diborane(5) anion derived from 9‐BBN is found to isomerize...

Sumario:Reactions of a magnesium‐based pinacolatoboryl nucleophile with the electrophilic organoboranes, 9‐BBN and Ph(3)B, provide facile B−B′ single bond formation. Although the Ph(3)B derivative is thermally stable, when heated, the unsymmetrical diborane(5) anion derived from 9‐BBN is found to isomerize to two regioisomeric species via a proposed mechanism involving dehydroboration of the borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and syn‐diboration of the resultant alkenyl carbocycle.
