Quantum-chemical investigation of conformational characteristics of the complex of 2-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane with dimethyl ether

With the help of the quantum-chemical approximation MP2/6-31G(d)//HF/6-31G(d) conformational characteristics were investigated of donor-acceptor associate of 2-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane with dimethyl ether, 1:1. The character of the conformational isomerization of the adduct differs from that established for the proper cyclic boric ester and involves an interconversion between two conformers nondegenerate by the energy. The stability of the associate under study is comparable with those of the molecular complexes of 2-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane with water and methanol.
