Boron−Boron Dehydrocoupling of Boranes Initiated by Reaction with Iodine

Abstract: A new boron–boron dehydrocoupling strategy was established, providing convenient access to some diborane(4) compounds starting from simple borane adducts under mild conditions. In contrast to the traditional pathway using a reducing reagent, the reduction from BIII to BII was paradoxically initiated by the addition of the oxidation‐reagent iodine. A reaction pathway for this unusual reaction was proposed based on quantum‐chemical calculations.

“…In contrast, the P1–B1 distance is longer than that of P2–B2, indicating that the latter bond is stronger due to the more basic character of P 2 in comparison to P 1 . The P1–C17–P2 angle is very large for a sp 3 -hybridized carbon, but this and the other metric parameters are similar to those of other methylene-bridged diphosphine–boranes …”

“…Himmel and co‐workers reported a class of diboron compounds 66 with bridging amidanate/guanidinate groups (Scheme 18). [60] Interestingly, the formation of the B−B bond was initiated by the addition of the oxidation reagent iodine, other than traditional reducing agents. DFT computations suggested that the boron‐boron dehydrocouping with iodine is thermodynamically favored.…”
