Die 2,6-Diisopropyl-phenylgruppe als sperriger Substituent in Bor-Stickstoff-Verbindungen. II [1]

The 2,6-Diisopropyl-phenyl Group as a Bulky Substituent in Boron-Nitrogen Compounds. II Fluoro-bis(amino)boranes R′ (Me₃Si)N–BF–NHR (R = 2,6-)Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃, R′ = Me ( Ia ), CH₂Me ( Ib ), CHMe₂ ( Ic ), CMe ( Id ), SiMe₃ ( Ie ), R ( If ) react with t-butyllithium (molar ratio 1:1) by elimination of HF to give the amino-imino-boranes ( IIa – f ). The thermal stabilities of the latter depend upon the steric requirement of the substituent R′, IIa – c and IIe dimerize to yield the diazaboretidines IIIa – c and IIIe. IId remains unchanged at 200°C and above, and IIf isomerizes forming the B–Me substituted diazasilaboretidine IVf . If a twofold amount of t-butyllithium is employed, B–CMe₃ substituted diazasilaboretidines ( Va – f ) are the main products. All compounds are characterized by elemental (C, H) analyses and their mass- and n.m.r. (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N (in part), ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si) spectra. Characteristic i.r.-bands are reported for the amino-imino-boranes ( II ). An X-ray structure analysis is presented for IVf .
