By “cyclopropanation” with diazo compounds, the first azoniaboratacyclopropane derivatives 2–4 are formed from (CF3)2BNMe2 (1); in these B and N have the coordination number 4. As a result of the CF3 groups 1 reacts like an alkene and not like other aminoboranes. The three ring atoms of the benzyl(trimethylsilyl) derivative 4 form an almost equilateral triangle with the distances BN 1.560(5), BC 1.595(5), and CN 1.567(4)Å.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
