Reactions of boron tri-iodide with nitrogen donors. Some comparisons of boron tri-iodide with other boron halides
Abstract
The chemistry of the dehydrohalogenation reactions of boron tri-iodide–aromatic amine adducts is illustrated. The main difference between boron tri-iodide and other boron halides is the more extensive formation of 1,3-diaza-2,4-diboranaphthalene derivatives (from aromatic amine–boron halide adducts) for the iodide systems. The mechanism of orthoboronation is discussed.
