“…In 2b (X = F), 2c (X = NH 2 ), and 2d (X = NMe 2 ), where the boron atoms are linked to π-donating groups X the 11 B NMR resonances (δ 22.3−25.2) are deshielded by only δ 2.0−3.1 on going from 1 to 2 . For comparison 1,3,2-oxazaborolidin-5-ones derived from α-amino acids and an amino-iminoborane display 11 B resonances at δ 27.0−27.4 . In the remaining products 2a (X = Br, δ 26.0), 2e (X = Me, δ 34.5), 2f (X = SnMe 3 , δ 38.2), and 2g (X = alkenyl, δ 30.9) a more pronounced deshielding (Δδ 8.3−12.4) of the boron nuclei relative to the corresponding 1,3,2-diazaborole precursors is observed.…”
