A practical procedure has been developed for the preparation of aminoethyl diphenylborinate. This involves the reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide with butyl borate at low temperature, isolation of butyl diphenylborinate as a complex with ammonia, and conversion of the ammonia complex to the aminoethyl ester with ethanolamine. Aminoethyl bis-(p-bromophenyl)-borinate was prepared by similar techniques. Solid derivatives of ...
