. Can. J. Chem. 69,673 (1991).The reaction of 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2,2-tetramethylene-4H-benzoxazin-4-one, 2, and diethyl ether-boron trifluoride yields the difluoroboron chelate 2,2-difluoro-4,4-tetramethylene-1,3,5-trioxa-3a-azonia-2-borata-2,3,4,5-tetrahydr0-1H-cyc10-penta[a]naphthalene, 6, in high yield. There are two crystal forms of 2: 2a, triclinic, P i , a = 8.551(1), b = 9.331(3), c = 7.236(1) A, a = 103.38(2), P 104.68(1), y = 80.37 (2)
