Reduction of bis

The reduction of symmetric, fully-substituted titanocene dichlorides bearing two pendant omega-alkenyl groups, [TiCl2(eta5-C5Me4R)2], R = CH(Me)CH= CH2 (1a). (CH2)2CH=CH2 (1b) and (CH2)3CH=CH2 (1c), by magnesium in tetrahydrofuran affords bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanacyclopentanes [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1: eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH(Me)CH(Ti)CH2CH(CH2(Ti))CH(Me)C5Me4]] (2a), [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1:eta5: eta5-C5Me4(CH2)2CH(Ti)(CH2)2CH(Ti)(CH2)2C5Me4]] (2b) and [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1:eta5:eta5-C5Me4(CH2)2CH(Ti)CH(Me)CH(Me)CH(Ti)(CH2)2C5Me4]](2c), respectively, as the products of oxidative coupling of the double bonds across a titanocene intermediate. For the case of complex 1c, a product of a double bond isomerisation is obtained owing to a preferred formation of five-membered titanacycles. The reaction of the titanacyclopentanes with PbCl2 recovers starting materials 1a from 2a and 1b from 2b, but complex 2c affords, under the same conditions, an isomer of 1c with a shifted carbon - carbon double bond, [TiCl[eta5-C5Me4(CH2CH2CH=CHMe)]2] (1c'). The titanacycles 2a-c can be opened by HCl to give ansa-titanocene dichlorides ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH(Me)CH2CH2CH(Me)CH(Me)C5Me4]TiCl2] (3a), ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4(CH2)8C5Me4]TiCl2] (3b), along with a minor product ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH2CH=CH(CH2)5C5Me4]TiCl2] (3b'), and ansa-[[eta5:eta5-CsMe4(CH2)3CH(Me)CH(Me)CH=CHCH2C5Me4]TiCl2] (3c), respectively, with the bridging aliphatic chain consisting of five (3a) and eight (3b, 3b' and 3c) carbon atoms. The course of the acidolysis changes with the nature of the pendant group; while the cyclopentadienyl ring-linking carbon chains in 3a and 3b are fully saturated, compounds 3c and 3b' contain one asymetrically placed carbon-carbon double bond, which evidently arises from the beta-hydrogen elimination that follows the HCl addition.     

Chloromethylation of substituted di(2-thienyl)methanes and the reductive desulfuration of some diamines of the thiopene series

The action of chloromethyl ether on di(2-thienyl)methane, 1, 1-di-(2-thienyl)ethane, 2, 2-di(2-thienyl)propane, 2, 5-bis(dimethyl-2-thienylmethyl)thiophene, and 1, 1, 1-tri(2-thienyl)ethane has given, respectively: 5-chloromethyl -2 -thienylthiophene, 1, 1-bis(5-chloro-methyl-2-thienyl)ethane, 2, 2-bis(5-chloromethyl-2-thienyl)propane, 2, 5-bis(dimethyl-5-chloromethyl-2-thienylmethyl)thiophene, 1-(2-thienyl)-1, 1-bis(5-chloromethyl-2-thienyl)-ethane, and the corresponding amines: 5-diethylaminomethyl-2-thienylthiophene, 1,1-Bis(5-diethylaminomethyl-2-thienyl)ethane, 2, 2-bis(5-aminomethyl-2 -thienyl)propane, 2, 2-bis(5-methylaminomethyl-2-thienyl)propane, 2, 5-bis(dimethyl-5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-thienylmethyl)thiophene, and 2, 8, 8, 14, 20, 20-hexamethyl-2, 14-diaza-3, 2, 3, 2-α-cyclotetrathiene. The reductive desulfonation over Raney nickel of the diacetyl derivatives of 2, 2-bis(5-aminomethyl-2-thienyl)propane and 2, 2-bis(5-methylaminomethyl-2-thienyl)propane has given the diacetyl derivatives of aliphatic amines.

The reductive desulfonation over Raney nickel of the diacetyl derivatives of 2, 2-bis(5-aminomethyl-2-thienyl)propane and 2, 2-bis(5-methylaminomethyl-2-thienyl)propane has given the diacetyl derivatives of aliphatic amines.     

Epoxidation of propyl- and isobutyl-β-alkylvinylketones

A study is made of the epoxidation of hepten-2-one-4, octen-3-one-5, nonen-4-one-6, 2-methylhepten-5-one-4, 2-methylocten-5-one-4, and 2-methylnonen-5-one-4 with alkaline methanolic hydrogen peroxide. 46–71% yield of the corresponding epoxy ketones are obtained. It is shown that treatment of the 2, 3-epoxyheptanone-4, 3, 4-epoxyoctanone-5, 4, 5-epoxynonanone-6, 2-methyl-5, 6-epoxyheptanone-4, 2-methyl-5, 6-epoxyoctanone-4 and 2-methyl-5, 6-epoxynonanone-4 with zinc chloride isomerizes them to, respectively, heptandione-3, 4, octandione-4, 5, nonandione-4, 5, 2-methylheptandione-4, 5, 2-methyloctandione-4, 5, and 2-methylnonandione-4, 5 in upto 78% yield.     

Synthesis, structure, and 15N NMR studies of paramagnetic lanthanide complexes obtained by reduction of dinitrogen

The recently discovered LnZ3/M and LnZ2Z'/M methods of reduction (Ln = lanthanide; M = alkali metal; Z, Z' = monoanionic ligands that allow these combinations to generate "LnZ2" reactivity) have been applied to provide the first crystallographically characterized dinitrogen complexes of cerium, [C5Me5)2(THF)Ce]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2) and [(C5Me4H)2(THF)Ce]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2), so that the utility of 15N NMR spectroscopy with paramagnetic lanthanides could be determined. [(C5Me5)2(THF)Pr]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2) and [(C5Me4H)2(THF)Pr]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2) were also synthesized, crystallographically characterized, and studied by 15N NMR methods. The data were compared to those of [(C5Me5)2Sm]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2). [(C5Me5)2(THF)Ce]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2) and [(C5Me5)2(THF)Pr]2(mu-eta2.eta2-N2) are unlike their (C5Me4H)1- analogs in that the solvating THF molecules are cis rather than trans. Structural information on precursors, (C5Me4H)3Ce, (C5Me4H)3Pr, and the oxidation product [(C5Me5)2Ce]2(mu-O) is also presented.     

Structures and reactivity of Zr(IV) chlorobenzene complexes

The synthesis, structures, and unusual reactivity of (C5R5)2ZrR'(ClPh)+ chlorobenzene complexes are described. The reaction of (C5R5)2ZrR'2 with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] in C6D5Cl affords [(C5R5)2ZrR'(ClC6D5)][B(C6F5)4] chlorobenzene complexes (1-d5, R' = CH2Ph and (C5R5)2 = (C5H5)2; 2a-d-d5, R' = Me and (C5R5)2 = rac-(1,2-ethylene(bis)indenyl) (2a), (C5H5)2 (2b), (C5H4Me)2 (2c), (C5Me5)2 (2d, C5Me5 = Cp*)). Complexes 1 and 2b,c are thermally robust but are converted to [{(C5R5)2Zr(mu-Cl)}2][B(C6F5)4]2 (4b,c) by a photochemical process in ClPh solution. In contrast, 2d undergoes facile thermal ortho-C-H activation to yield [Cp*2Zr(eta2-C,Cl-2-Cl-C6H4)][B(C6F5)4] (5), which slowly rearranges to [(eta4,eta1-C5Me5C6H4)Cp*ZrCl][B(C6F5)4] (6) via beta-Cl elimination and benzyne insertion into a Zr-CCp* bond. The higher thermal reactivity of 2d versus that of 1 and 2b,c is attributed to steric crowding associated with the Cp* ligands of 2d, which forces a ClPh ortho-hydrogen close to the Zr-Me group.     

Synthesis and structure of organic-soluble binuclear molecular phosphonates of tantalum,molybdenum, and tungsten

The reaction of (eta 5-C5Me5)TaMe4 with tert-butylphosphonic acid leads to the formation of a mixture of compounds: [[(eta 5-C5Me5)TaMe][t-BuP(O)(OH)][t-BuP(O)(OH)2]]2(t-BuPO3)2 (1) and [[(eta 5-C5Me5)Ta][t-BuP(O)(OH)2]]2(t-BuPO3)2(mu-O)2 (2). Compound 2 was also obtained by recrystallization of 1 from a THF/hexane mixture. Reaction of (eta 5-C5Me5)MCl4 (M = Mo, W) with PhP(O)(OH)2 yields the binuclear phosphonates [[(eta 5-C5Me5)M][PhP(O)(OH)2]]2(PhPO3)2(mu-O)2 (M = Mo (3); M = W (4)). Compounds 2.THF and 3(.)2.5THF were characterized by single-crystal X-ray studies. The tantalum and molybdenum phosphonates 2.THF and 3(.)2.5THF have different structures as compared to those of the previously reported titanophosphonate cages.     

Formation of carbon-carbon single bonds from isocyanates and cyclic pentaoxyphosphoranes—VI : Synthesis of 4-oxazolones and 4-thiazolones,and a new type of chapman rearrangement

The reaction of 4,5-dimethyl-2,2,2-trimethoxy-2,2-dihydro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholene with carbomethoxy, carbopropoxy and N,N-diphenylcarbamyl isocyanates yields, respectively, 2-methoxy-, 2-propoxy- and 2- diphenylamino-5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-oxazolin-4-one. The reaction with carbophenoxy isocyanate gives two products in a proportion which depends on experimental conditions: 2-phenoxy-5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-oxalin-4-one (1:1 stoichiometry) and 1,3-dicarbophenoxy-5-acetyl-5-methyl-hydantoin (1:2 stoichiometry). The 2-substituted 4- oxazolones are hydrolyzed to 5-acetyl-5-methyl-oxazolidin-2,4-dione. The alkyl group of the 2-alkoxy-4-oxazolones migrates to the adjacent nitrogen to give 3-alkyl-5-acetyl-5-methyl-oxazolidin-2,4-diones. The dioxaphospholene reacts with 2-substituted 2-thiazolin-4,5-diones to give 2-substituted 5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-thiazolin-4-ones, including rhodanine derivatives.     

A novel and direct synthesis of indoles via catalytic reductive annulation of nitroaromatics with alkynes

Indoles are produced regioselectively and in moderate yields from the reactions of nitroaromatics with alkynes catalyzed by [CpM(CO)2]2 (1; [(eta 5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2]2; [(eta 5-C5Me5)-Fe(CO)2]2; [(eta 5-C5Me5)Ru(CO)2]2) under carbon monoxide.     

Reactivity and electronic property of decaphenylmetallocenes of Mo and W atoms

The perphenylmetallocene complexes (η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂W (1), [(η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂W]⁺I₃⁻ (1⁺I₃), (η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂Mo (2) and [(η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂Mo]⁺I₃⁻ (2⁺I₃) have been prepared. Hydrogenation of 1 in THF produces (η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂WH₂ (4), while (η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂WHCl (3) is afforded in 1,2-dichloroethane solvent. Carbonylation of 1 produces (η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂W(CO) (5). Treatment of 1 with the strong acid CF₃SO₃H leads to the dicationic species [(η⁵-C₅Ph₅)₂W]⁺²[CF₃SO₃]⁻₂ (1⁺²Tf₂) after crystallization. The structures of 2⁺I₃ and 1⁺²Tf₂ have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The magnetic susceptibility study indicates a ³E_2g ground-state for 1 and 2, and a ⁴A_2g ground-state for 1⁺ and 2⁺.     

开环茂金属成环及氢分子消除反应机理的理论研究

采用密度泛函方法(DFT)在M06-2X/def2-TZVPP//B3LYP/def2-TZVPP+ZPE水平下, 对以开环的(η⁵-C₅H₇)₂Ru为前驱体生成闭环(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ru的各种可能的反应路径进行了详细的研究. 最终确定其反应机理为: (η⁵-C₅H₇)₂Ru的一个η⁵-C₅H₇发生端碳成键的成环反应形成(η³-C₅H₇)Ru(η⁵-C₅H₇), 经过两步氢原子迁移到Ru原子上, 之后脱掉一个氢气分子形成(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ru(η⁵-C₅H₇), 而后另一个η⁵-C₅H₇再重复成环并进行两步氢迁移以及氢气分子消除而得到最终的产物(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ru.     

Formation,structure and reactivity of boryloxycarbyne complexes of group 6 metals

Reaction of the diborane(4) B(2)(NMe(2))(2)I(2) with two equivalents of K[(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))M(CO)(3)] (M=Cr, Mo, W) yielded the dinuclear boryloxycarbyne complexes [[(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC)(2)M(triple bond)CO](2)B(2)(NMe(2))(2)] (4 a, M=Mo; b, M=W; c, M=Cr), which were fully characterised in solution by multinuclear NMR methods. The Mo and W complexes 4 a, b proved to be kinetically favoured products of this reaction and underwent quantitative rearrangement in solution to afford the complexes [[(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC)(2)M(triple bond)CO]B(NMe(2))B(NMe(2))[M(CO)(3)(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))]] (5 a, M=Mo; b, M=W); 5 a was characterised by X-ray crystallography in the solid state. Corresponding reactions of B(2)(NMe(2))(2)I(2) with only one equivalent of K[(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))M(CO)(3)] (M=Mo, W) initially afforded 1:1 mixtures of the boryloxycarbyne complexes 4 a, b and unconsumed B(2)(NMe(2))(2)I(2). This mixture, however, yielded finally the diborane(4)yl complexes [(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC)(3)M[B(NMe(2))B(NMe(2))I]] (6 a, M=Mo; b, M=W) by [(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC)(3)M] transfer and rearrangement. Density functional calculations were carried out for 4 c and 5 a, b.     

Ammonolysis of mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) titanium(IV) derivatives

Ammonolyses of mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) titanium(IV) derivatives [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)X3] (X = NMe2, Me, Cl) have been carried out in solution to give polynuclear nitrido complexes. Reaction of the tris(dimethylamido) derivative [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NMe2)3] with excess of ammonia at 80-100 degrees C gives the cubane complex [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)]4(mu3-N)4] (1). Treatment of the trimethyl derivative [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me3] with NH3 at room temperature leads to the trinuclear imido-nitrido complex [[Ti(eta/5-CsMes)(mu-NH)]3(mu3-N)] (2) via the intermediate [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me]2(mu-NH)2] (3). The analogous reaction of [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me3] with 2,4,6-trimethylaniline (ArNH2) gives the dinuclear imido complex [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me])2(mu-NAr)2] (4) which reacts with ammonia to afford [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NH2)]2(mu-NAr)2] (5). Complex 2 has been used, by treatments with the tris(dimethylamido) derivatives [Ti(eta5-C5H5-nRn)(NMe2)3], as precursor of the cubane nitrido systems [[Ti4(eta5-C5Me5)3(eta5-C5H5-nRn)](mu3-N)4] [R = Me n = 5 (1), R = H n = 0 (6), R = SiMe3 n = 1 (7), R = Me n = 1 (8)] via dimethylamine elimination. Reaction of [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl3] or [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NMe2)Cl2] with excess of ammonia at room temperature gives the dinuclear complex [[Ti2(eta5-C5Me5)2Cl3(NH3)](mu-N)] (9) where an intramolecular hydrogen bonding and a nonlineal nitrido ligand bridge the "Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl(NH3)" and "Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl2" moieties. The molecular structures of [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me]2 (mu-NAr)2] (4) and [[Ti2(eta5-C5Me5)2Cl3(NH3)](mu-N)] (9) have been determined by X-ray crystallographic studies. Density functional theory calculations also have been conducted on complex 9 to confirm the existence of an intramolecular N-H...Cl hydrogen bond and to evaluate different aspects of its molecular disposition.     

Organolanthanide-based synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles from nitriles and diazo compounds

The reaction of [(C5Me5)2Ln][(mu-Ph)2BPh2] complexes with the lithium salt of (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane, Li[Me3SiCN2], gave products formulated as the dimeric isocyanotrimethylsilyl amide complexes {(C5Me5)2Ln[mu-N(SiMe3)NC]}2 (Ln = Sm, 1; La, 2). Reactions of (C5Me5)2Sm and [(C5Me5)2Sm(mu-H)]2 with Me3SiCHN2 also form 1. Complexes 1 and 2 react with Me3CCN to form the 1,2,3-triazolato complexes (C5Me5)2Ln(NCCMe3)[NNC(SiMe3)C(CMe3)N] (Ln = Sm, 3; La, 4). Complex 2 reacts with Me3SiN3 to make the isocyanide ligated azide complex {(C5Me5)2La[CNN(SiMe3)2](mu-N3)}3, 5.     

Chemical reactivity and electrochemistry of metal-metal-bonded zincocenes

Attempts to prepare mixed-ligand zinc-zinc-bonded compounds that contain bulky C(5)Me(5) and terphenyl groups, [Zn(2)(C(5)Me(5))(Ar')], lead to disproportionation. The resulting half-sandwich Zn(II) complexes [(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))ZnAr'] (Ar' = 2,6-(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3))(2)-C(6)H(3), 2; 2,6-(2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3))(2)-C(6)H(3), 3) can also be obtained from the reaction of [Zn(C(5)Me(5))(2)] with the corresponding LiAr'. In the presence of pyr-py (4-pyrrolidinopyridine) or DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), [Zn(2)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))(2)] reacts with C(5)Me(5)OH to afford the tetrametallic complexes [Zn(2)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))L(μ-OC(5)Me(5))](2) (L = pyr-py, 6; DBU, 8), respectively. The bulkier terphenyloxide Ar(Mes)O(-) group (Ar(Mes) = 2,6-(2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2))(2)-C(6)H(3)) gives instead the dimetallic compound [Zn(2)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))(OAr(Mes))(pyr-py)(2)], 7, that features a terminal Zn-OAr(Mes) bond. DFT calculations on models of 6-8 and also on the Zn-Zn-bonded complexes [Zn(2)(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC(5)H(5))(py)(2)] and [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))ZnZn(py)(3)](+) have been performed and reveal the nonsymmetric nature of the Zn-Zn bond with lower charge and higher participation of the s orbital of the zinc atom coordinated to the cyclopentadienyl ligand with respect to the metal within the pseudo-ZnL(3) fragment. Cyclic voltammetric studies on [Zn(2)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))(2)] have been also carried out and the results compared with the behavior of [Zn(C(5)Me(5))(2)] and related magnesium and calcium metallocenes.

Kinetics and mechanism of N2 hydrogenation in bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium complexes and dinitrogen functionalization by 1,2-addition of a saturated C-H bond

The rates of hydrogenation of the N2 ligand in the side-on bound dinitrogen compounds, [(eta(5)-C5Me4H)2Zr]2(mu2,eta(2),eta(2)-N2) and [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(5)-C5H2-1,2-Me2-4-R)Zr]2(mu2,eta(2),eta(2)-N2) (R = Me, Ph), to afford the corresponding hydrido zirconocene diazenido complexes have been measured by electronic spectroscopy. Determination of the rate law for the hydrogenation of [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(5)-C5H2-1,2,4-Me3)Zr]2(mu2,eta(2),eta(2)-N2) establishes an overall second-order reaction, first order with respect to each reagent. These data, in combination with a normal, primary kinetic isotope effect of 2.2(1) for H2 versus D2 addition, establish the first H2 addition as the rate-determining step in N2 hydrogenation. Kinetic isotope effects of similar direction and magnitude have also been measured for hydrogenation (deuteration) of the two other zirconocene dinitrogen complexes. Measuring the rate constants for the hydrogenation of [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(5)-C5H2-1,2,4-Me3)Zr]2(mu2,eta(2),eta(2)-N2) over a 40 degrees C temperature range provided activation parameters of deltaH(double dagger) = 8.4(8) kcal/mol and deltaS(double dagger) = -33(4) eu. The entropy of activation is consistent with an ordered four-centered transition structure, where H2 undergoes formal 1,2-addition to a zirconium-nitrogen bond with considerable multiple bond character. Support for this hypothesis stems from the observation of N2 functionalization by C-H activation of a cyclopentadienyl methyl substituent in the mixed ring dinitrogen complexes, [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(5)-C5H2-1,2-Me2-4-R)Zr]2(mu2,eta(2),eta(2)-N2) (R = Me, Ph), to afford cyclometalated zirconocene diazenido derivatives.     

Synthesis of aminoalkyl derivatives of 2-benzyl-5-hydroxyindole

Derivatives of 2-benzyl-5-methoxyindole-3-carboxylic acid are decarboxylated on heating and are converted to the corresponding 2-benzyl-5-methoxyindoles. 2-Benzyl-5-methoxygramine hydrochlorides were obtained from the latter and used to obtain (2-benzyl-5-methoxy-3-indolyl)acetonitriles. The nitriles were converted to 2-benzyl-5-methoxytryptamines by hydrogenation. A number of Mannich bases were obtained by aminomethylation of 2-benzyl-3-carbomethoxy-5-hydroxyindole derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 208–212, February, 1971.

Reactions of substituted pyridines with electrophilic boranes

The lutidine derivative (2,6-Me(2))(4-Bpin)C(5)H(2)N when combined with B(C(6)F(5))(3) yields a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) which reacts with H(2) to give the salt [(2,6-Me(2))(4-Bpin)C(5)H(2)NH][HB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (1). Similarly 2,2'-(C(5)H(2)(4,6-Me(2))N)(2) and (4,4'-(C(5)H(2)(4,6-Me(2))N)(2) were also combined with B(C(6)F(5))(3) and exposed to H(2) to give [(2,2'-HN(2,6-Me(2))C(5)H(2)C(5)H(2)(4,6-Me(2))N][HB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (2) and [(4,4'-HN(2,6-Me(2))C(5)H(2)C(5)H(2)(2,6-Me(2))N] [HB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (3), respectively. The mono-pyridine-N-oxide 4,4'-N(2,6-Me(2))C(5)H(2)C(5)H(2)(2,6-Me(2))NO formed the adduct (4,4'-N(2,6-Me(2))C(5)H(2)C(5)H(2)(2,6-Me(2))NO)(B(C(6)F(5))(3)) (4) which reacts further with B(C(6)F(5))(3) and H(2) to give [(4,4'-HN(2,6-Me(2))C(5)H(2)C(5)H(2)(2,6-Me(2))NO)B(C(6)F(5))(3)] [HB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (5). In a related sense, 2-amino-6-CF(3)-C(5)H(3)N reacts with B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give (C(5)H(3)(6-CF(3))NH)(2-NH(B(C(6)F(5))(3))) (6). Similarly, the species, 2-amino-quinoline, 8-amino-quinoline and 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyridine were reacted with B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give the products as (C(9)H(6)NH)(2-NHB(C(6)F(5))(3)) (7), (C(9)H(6)N)(8-NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(3)) (8) and (C(5)H(3)(6-Me)NH)(2-OB(C(6)F(5))(3)) (9), respectively; while 2-amino-6-picoline, 2-amino-6-CF(3)-pyridine, 2-amino-quinoline, 8-amino-quinoline and 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyridine react with ClB(C(6)F(5))(2) to give the species (C(5)H(3)(6-R)NH)(2-NH(ClB(C(6)F(5))(2))) (R = Me (10), R = CF(3) (11)) (C(9)H(6)NH)(2-NH(ClB(C(6)F(5))(2))) (12), (C(9)H(6)N)(8-NH(2)ClB(C(6)F(5))(2)) (13) and (C(5)H(3)(6-Me)NH)(2-OClB(C(6)F(5))(2)) (14), respectively. In a similar manner, 2-amino-6-picoline and 2-amino-quinoline react with B(C(6)F(5))(2)H to give (C(5)H(3)(6-Me)NH)(2-NH(HB(C(6)F(5))(2))) (15) and (C(9)H(6)NH)(2-NH(HB(C(6)F(5))(2))) (16). The corresponding reaction of 8-amino-quinoline yields (C(9)H(6)N)(8-NHB(C(6)F(5))(2)) (17). In a similar fashion, reaction of 2-amino-6-CF(3)-pyridine resulted in the formation of (18) formulated as (C(5)H(3)(6-CF(3))N)(2-NH(B(C(6)F(5))(2)). Finally, treatment of 15 with iPrMgCl gave (C(9)H(6)N)(2-NH(B(C(6)F(5))(2))) (19). Crystallographic studies of 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15 are reported.
