Borirenes and Boriranes: Development and Perspectives

Abstract:Strained compounds constitute a highly topical area of research in chemistry. Borirene and borirane both feature a BC2 three‐membered ring. They can be viewed as the structural analogues of cyclopropane and cyclopropene, where a CH2 unit of the carbonaceous counterparts is replaced with BH, respectively. Indeed, this structural variation introduces numerous intriguing aspects. For instance, borirane and borirene are both Lewis acidic due to the presence of a tricoordinate borane center. In addition, borirene i… Show more
“…On the other hand, borirenes 17–24 and boriranes 8,9,24–35 have gained attention due to their unique electronic and structural features. 36 Typically, these small boracycles can undergo ring-opening reactions under irradiation 22 or thermal conditions, 26–29 or when reacting with polar bonds. 22,23,30,31 However, it should be noted that their application in synthesis remains somewhat limited.…”

“…Most importantly, it has become evident that they can be applied as “C 2 B” synthons for organic and organometallic synthesis. 36 It is noteworthy that, despite extensive research, their reactivity towards organic azides has not yet been reported.…”
Herein we report the reactivity study of o-carborane-fused bis(trimethylsilyl)aminoborirane towards three different types of organic azides, i.e., aryl, alkyl, and silyl azides. The reaction with ArN3 (Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H4, 2,6-C6H3Cl2,...
