Abstract

To distinguish between dissociation of a B−N coordination bond by S N 1- and S N 2-type mechanisms, two series of 1,3,2-dioxaborolanes (boronates) and BEt 2 (borane) complexes carrying a 2,6-bis((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl group as a third substituent were synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding organolithium compound with an appropriate boron reagent. In the solid state, the boronate complex exhibits a structure in which only one ...
