A series of formal donor-acceptor adducts of aminoborane (H 2BNH2) and its N-substituted analogues (H 2BNRR′) were prepared: LB-H2BNRR′2- BH3 (LB = DMAP, IPr, IPrCH2 and PCy3; R and R′ = H, Me or tBu; IPr = [(HCNDipp)2C:] and Dipp = 2,6-iPr 2C6H3). To potentially access complexes of molecular boron nitride, LB-BN-LA (LA = Lewis acid), preliminary dehydrogenation chemistry involving the parent aminoborane adducts LB-H2BNH 2-BH3 was investigated using [Rh(COD)Cl]2, CuBr, and NiBr2 as dehydrogenation catalysts. In place of isolating the intended dehydrogenated BN donor-acceptor complexes, the formation of borazine was noted as a major product. Attempts to prepare the fluoroarylborane-capped aminoborane complexes, LB-H2BNH 2-B(C6F5)3, are also described.
