Synthesis and structures of 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidines

The derivatives of diazatriborolidine are a class of 5-membered heterocyclic compounds containing a ring with two nitrogen atoms and three boron atoms. The 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives were synthesized from 1,2-bis(N-lithium-arylamino) diborane(4) and dichloro-dimethylaminoborane with high yield. The structures of these new derivatives were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 3a, 3b, 3d, 4b and 4c were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their structural features were discussed and compared with similar diazatriborolidines. In addition, the enthalpy of formation of B and N atoms containing five membered heterocycles were calculated theoretically for the first time. Also, an easy and efficient synthesis route has been reported for preparation of 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives.
