Reactions of 1,1- and 1,2-bis-boranes with a protic diamine and hydrazine

Abstract

The reactions of 1,1- and 1,2-bis-boranes, PhCH2CH(B(C6F5)2)2 1 and Me3SiCH(B(C6F5)2)CH2B(C6F5)2 2, with o-phenylenediamine and hydrazine are reported. Coordination of o-phenylenediamine gives the expected adducts, PhCH2CH(B(C6F5)2(H2N))2C6H4 4 and Me3SiCH(B(C6F5)2)CH2B(C6F5)2((H2N)2C6H4) 6. Under...
