The diborylamines R'-N(BRX)2 (3; X=Cl, Br) are obtained by stannazane cleavage of distannylorganylamines R'-N(SnMe3)2 (4) with alkyldihaloboranes RBX2 in a 1:2 molar ratio. The presence of the sterically demanding substituents R and R' also causes carbon-tin bond cleavage, resulting in low yields of 3. However, carbon-tin bond cleavage can be suppressed by the use of bis(dimethylchlorostannyl)organylamines 5 as the nitrogen source for the synthesis of diborylamines. This results in almost quantitative yields of the compounds 3. Treatment of the distannylhydrazines R2N-N(SnMe3)2 (7) with RBX2 in a 1:2 molar ratio leads to the formation of N,N-bis(alkylhaloboryl)hydrazines 8 under mild conditions and in good yield. The molecular structures of 3 and 8 were determined by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectra in solution as well as by X-ray structure analysis in the case of 8d. A typical structural feature of 8d is the intramolecular BN adduct formation. Support for the constitutions of compounds 8c comes from MS fragmentation patterns as well as from IR spectra.
Reactions of the diboron tetrahalides B2Cl4 and B2Br4 with B5H9: Preparation and properties of the (dihaloboryl)pentaborane derivatives 1-BX2B5H8, (X = Br, Cl, F, OCH3, t-Bu, H) and synthesis of (BCl2)3B5H6

The reactions of B2Cl4 with excess B5H9 yield 1-BCl2B5H8 (73%) while those of B2Br4 generate 1-BBr2B5H8 (80%). Ligand exchange of 1-BCl2B5H8 with excess BBr3 forms 1-BBr2B5H8 (86%), that with Hg(CF3)2 results in 1-BF2B5H8 (96%), that with CH3OH generates 1-B(OCH3)2B5H8 (46%), and that with Li(t-Bu) prepares B(t-Bu)(Cl)B5H8 (23%) and B(t-Bu)2B5H8 (20%). The relative thermal stabilities of these products are BF2B5H8 > BCl2B5H8 > BBr2B5H8 > B(OCH3)2B5H8 > B(t-Bu)2B5H8. All of these BX2B5H8 compounds (X = F, Cl, OCH3, t-Bu) decompose to form BX3 and B5H9 as the volatile products. Reactions of BCl2B5H8 with excess B2Cl4 yield (BCl2)3B5H6, a compound of limited thermal stability, but no evidence for further BCl2 substitution on the pentaborane cage was obtained. Reductions of BCl2B5H8 with LiBH4 in C6H5Cl or C6H4Cl2 form apparent equilibrium mixtures of 1:1′,2′-[B5H8][B2H5] and 1:1′-[B5H8][B2H5]. One or both of these compounds decompose with the evolution of B2H6, B5H9, and coupled pentaborane cages (B5H7)n, where n can be at least as large as 8. The 11B NMR and mass spectrometric evidence from the last reaction is consistent with the initial dimerization of the hexaborane 1-BH2B5H8, which is rapidly followed by the formation of 1:1′-[B5H8][B2H5], the cross product arising from the interaction of B2H6 with (BH2B5H8)2, and then isomerization of this heptaborane to 1:1′,2′-[B5H8][B2H5].
