The reversible covalent binding of diols to an <i>N</i>-Bn 1,2-BN cyclohexane has been studied by <sup>11</sup>B and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The activation barrier for the reversible B-N Lewis acid-base interaction has been measured by variable-temperature NMR with bound (2<i>R</i>,3<i>R</i>)-(-)-2,3-butanediol (<i>T</i><sub>c</sub> = -40 °C, Δ<i>G</i><sup>‡</sup> = 11.2 ± 0.2 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup>). Deuterium labeling experiments demonstrate ...[more]
