Abstract

The reaction between 1,2-B2Cl2(NMe2)2 and disodium catecholate Na2[1,2-O2C6H4] affords the cyclic diborane(4) compound 1,2-B2(NMe2)2(cat) (cat=1,2-O2C6H4), whereas a similar reaction using dilithium thiocatecholate Li2[1,2-S2C6H4] affords the 1,1-isomer 1,1-B2(NMe2)2(thiocat) (thiocat=1,2-S2C6H4). Both compounds can be used to prepare unsymmetric diborane(4) species.
