B-B Bond Nucleophilicity in a Tetraaryl ?-Hydridodiborane(4) Anion.


ABSTRACT: The tetraaryl ?-hydridodiborane(4) anion [2H]- possesses nucleophilic B-B and B-H bonds. Treatment of K[2H] with the electrophilic 9-H-9-borafluorene (HBFlu) furnishes the B3 cluster K[3], with a triangular boron core linked through two BHB two-electron, three-center bonds and one electron-precise B-B bond, reminiscent of the prominent [B3 H8 ]- anion. Upon heating or prolonged stirring at room temperature, K[3] rearranges to a slightly more stable isomer K[3?a]. The reaction of M[2H] (M+ =Li+ , K+ ) with MeI or Me3 SiCl leads to equimolar amounts of 9-R-9-borafluorene and HBFlu (R=Me or Me3 Si). Thus, [2H]- behaves as a masked [:BFlu]- nucleophile. The HBFlu by-product was used in?situ to establish a tandem substitution-hydroboration reaction: a 1:1 mixture of M[2H] and allyl bromide gave the 1,3-propylene-linked ditopic 9-borafluorene 5 as sole product. M[2H] also participates in unprecedented [4+1] cycloadditions with dienes to furnish dialkyl diaryl spiroborates, M[R2 BFlu].
