Abstract

The synthesis and characterisation (m.p., elemental analysis, IR, NMR) of some previously unreported Me3B3O3. L adducts (L=piperidine, isobutylamine, morpholine, 3-picoline, benzylamine) are described. The crystal and molecular structure of (Me3B3O3NH2Bu)-Bu-i . MeB(OH)(2) has been determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The structure reveals an unusual H-bond interaction between MeB(OH)(2) and a ring O atom of the six-membered B3O3 ring of the trimethylboroxine adduct, Me3B3O3. (NH2Bu)-Bu-i. The direction of the H-bond strongly suggests sp(2) hybridisation for this O atom. The Lewis acidity of Me3B3O3, Ph3B3O3, 1,3,5-Ph3B3N3Me3 and 1,3,5-Ph3C6H3 have been estimated by Gutmann's method and data interpreted in terms of relative K-bonding strength within these ring systems.
