Reactions of iodine-nitrene reagents with boranes†
Abstract
Reactions of the boranes (C6F5)2BR (R = C6F5, Ph, H) with the nitrene-iodine reagents XC6H4SO2NIPh, X = Me, Cl and MeSO2NIPh effect the insertion of nitrene into the B–C and B–H bonds affording the species (C6F5)2BN(SO2C6H4X)R (X = Me, R = C6F51, Ph 3, H, 4, X = Cl, 5, X = NO2, 7) and (C6F5)2BN(SO2Me)H 6).
