Structural studies of organoboron compounds. XV. Crystal and molecular structures of (3-aminopropanolato)diphenylboron, (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato)diphenylboron, and (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato)diphenylboron – diphenylborinic acid (1:1)

Abstract

Crystals of (3-aminopropanolato)diphenylboron are monoclinic, a = 9.6717(13). b = 9.8867(6), c = 14.452(2) Å, β = 99.500(7)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n: those of (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato)diphenylboron are monoclinic, a = 7.0721(4), b = 16.8829(4), c = 12.0975(8) Å, β = 97.875(3)°, Z = 4, space group Cc; and those of (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato)diphenylboron – diphenylborinic acid (1:1) are monoclinic. a = 11.3231(10). b = 19.3190(12). c = 12.2451(11) Å, β = 109.321(4)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. All three structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.038. 0.031, and 0.040 for 1522, 1649, and 2420 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Each structure contains a tetrahedrally coordinated boron atom. The libration-corrected B—O, B—N, and mean B—C distances are: 1.481(2), 1.643(3), and 1.623(3) Å for (3-aminopropanolato)diphenylboron; 1.476(2), 1.691 (2), and 1.625(7) Å for (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato)diphenylboron. The Ph2BOH molecule contains a trigonal-planar boron atom with B—O = 1.354(3) Å and mean B—C = 1.572(3) Å.
