“…7 Reaction of 2-pyridylaminodiorganoborane with isocyanate led to a chelate structure in which the pyridine N-atom was donor to the isocyanate C-atom, and a boron-oxygen bond was formed that completed the six-member ring. 8,9 Balueva and coworkers reported 1,2-borylphosphinoethene reacted with small polar molecules such as ketene, diazo compounds, 10 ketenimine, 11 carbodiimide, isothiocyanate, 12 acetyl chloride, 13 aldehyde, 14,15 oxygen, carbon disulfide, 16 isocyanate, 17 thiocyanate, 18 sulfur and selenium; 19 though, it was unreactive toward nitriles and ketones. We synthesized a family of 2-( picolyl)boranes, 2-( picolyl)-BR 2 (R = Et, Ph; BR 2 = 9-borafluorenyl, 9-borabicyclononane (BBN)).…”
