Iminoborane
Iminoboranes comprise a group of inorganic compounds with the generic formula containing triple bonds XB≡NY, where X, Y can be H, F, RO, R2N, R3C, etc, among which the simplest form is HB≡NH. They are electronically related to acetylenes but are usually more reactive due to the polarity.[1][2][3]
Structure and Bonding
The parent iminoborane, HB=NH, is produced by the photolysis of H3BNH3.[4][5][6] Bonding in iminoboranes can be described by two resonance structures.[7]
Substituent effects
Bonding and hence reactiviity is dramatically affected by substitution.[8] Strong shielding effect of bulky substitutions can make the iminoboranes more stable and more resistant to oligomerization, which allows for the storage at room temperature.[9] Thermal decomposition of azidoboranes and trimethyl-silyl(trimethylsilyloxy)aminoboranes can be used to access symmetric iminoboranes, especially those with bulky R groups.[10]
Reactivity
Oligomerization
Iminoboranes tend to oligomerize. Five types of oligomerization product are mainly produced: cyclodimers (1,3,2,4-diazadiboretidines, Di[11][12]), cyclotrimers (borazines, Tr), bicyclotrimers (Dewar borazines, Tr’[13]), cyclotetramers (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetraza-2,4,6,8-tetraborocines, Te[14]), and polymers (polyiminoboranes, Po); which are shown below.[15] Which product is dominant depends on the structures of reactants and the reaction conditions. Some of the products can be interconverted.[16]
Addition reactions
Some electron-rich iminoboranes form adducts with Lewis acids.[17]
The addition of protic agents is a fast quantitive reaction.[18]
Boration reaction of iminoboranes is the addition of B-X single bond to B≡N, where -X can be -Cl (chloro-boration), -N3 (azido-boration), -SR (thio-boration), -NR2 (amino-boration) and R (alkyl-boration). One of these reactions are illustrated here.
Cycloaddition is the addition of π bond to B≡N, and can be categorized into [2+2]-cycloadditions, [2+3]-cycloadditions, [2+4]-cycloadditions etc.
One of the widely investigated [2+2]-cycloadditions is the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with iminoboranes, which has two possible pathways. Usually, the relatively stable iminoboranes which are less likely to undergo the total opening of B≡N, and the ketones containing enolic protons, prefer to undergo path b.[19]
The typical [2+3]-cycloaddition is the addition of B≡N and RN3,and the typical [2+4]-cycloaddition is the addition of B≡N and cyclopentadiene.
Coordination to transition metals
Like acetylenes, iminoboranes can also coordinate with transition metals.
