“…65 Compounds of type B,H,,C,R, are now recognized to be derivatives of dihydrocarboranes (e.g., B,C,H,), and these yield carboranes on pyrolysis, the particular carborane obtained depending on conditions. 66 The structure of B4H6,C,R, ( 5 ) is considered to involve donation from the carbon-carbon n-bond to the available sp2 orbital of the apical boron atom. 67 The reaction of carboxylic acids with trialkylborons, BR,, yield dialkylboron carboxylates, e.g., Me di-n-butylboric acid with hydroxylamine gives a compound ( Bun,EONH,), which on the basis of its infrared spectrum is considered to be a 6-membered heterocycle (7), " bon-bon."…”
