Boron-containing heterocycles are important in a variety of applications from drug discovery to materials science; therefore a clear understanding of their structure and reactivity is desirable to optimize these functions. Although the boranol (B-OH) unit of boronic acids behaves as a Lewis acid to form a tetravalent trihydroxyborate conjugate base, it has been proposed that pseudoaromatic hemiboronic acids may possess sufficient aromatic character to act as Br?nsted acids and form a boron oxy conjugate base, thereby avoiding the disruption of ring aromaticity that would occur with a tetravalent boronate anion. Until now no firm evidence existed to ascertain the structure of the conjugate base and the aromatic character of the boron-containing ring of hemiboronic "naphthoid"isosteres. Here, these questions are addressed with a combination of experimental, spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic, and computational studies of a series of model benzoxazaborine and benzodiazaborine naphthoids. Although these hemiboronic heterocycles are unambiguously shown to behave as Lewis acids in aqueous solutions, boraza derivatives possess partial aromaticity provided their nitrogen lone electron pair is sufficiently available to participate in extended delocalization. As demonstrated by dynamic exchange and crossover experiments, these heterocycles are stable in neutral aqueous medium, and their measured pKa values are consistent with the ability of the endocyclic heteroatom substituent to stabilize a partial negative charge in the conjugate base. Altogether, this study corrects previous inaccuracies and provides conclusions regarding the properties of these compounds that are important toward the methodical application of hemiboronic and other boron heterocycles in catalysis, bioconjugation, and medicinal chemistry.

A set of 2-acylated 2,3,1-benzodiazaborines and some related boron heterocycles were synthesized, characterized, and tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium smegmatis. By high-field solution NMR, the heretofore unknown class of 2-acyl-1-hydroxy-2,3,1-diazaborines has been found to be able to exist in several interconvertable structural forms along a continuum comprised of an open hydrazone a, a monomeric B-hydroxy diazaborine b, and an anhydro dimer c. X-Ray crystallography of one of the anhydro dimers, 17c, revealed it to have an unprecedented structure featuring a double intramolecular O→B chelation. The crystal structure of another compound, 37, showed it to be based on a new pentacyclic B heterocycle framework. Nine compounds were found to possess activities against E. coli, and two others were active against M. smegmatis. The finding that these two contain isoniazid covalently embedded in their structures suggests that they might possibly be acting as prodrugs of this well-known antituberculosis agent in vivo.
