Access to adducts of parent iminoborane isomers, HBNH and NBH2, using frustrated Lewis pair chelation†
Abstract
Adducts of the parent iminoborane isomers, HBNH and NBH2, have been prepared, each stabilized by the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chelate iPr2P(C6H4)BCy2 (PB). PB{HBNH} was accessed via dehydrohalogenation, while the corresponding isomer PB{NBH2} was obtained from the borylation of the formal nitrene-FLP complex PB{NH}.
