Two isomeric 1,4‐thiaborin derivatives fused by two thiophene rings (dithieno‐1,4‐thiaborins, DTTBs) were synthesized in two steps from commercially available materials, and their structures were confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. DTTBs 1 and 2 showed excellent stability towards air and moisture. Theoretical calculations revealed that the fusion of thiophenes enhanced the aromaticity of the centered 1,4‐thiaborins compared to their corresponding dibenzothiaborins. Furthermore, DTTBs 1 and 2 could be further functionalized by metalation followed by addition of electrophile. DTTBs are promising platforms upon which it is possible to build the next generation of organoboron π‐electron materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
