Hexamethylenetetramine-borane adducts

The four possible borane adducts of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) were prepared, three of which being hitherto unknown. Synthesis and purification procedures were worked out so that pure samples were available for chemical studies. Pyrolysis of the tetraadduct when controlled proceeded with rearrangement by hydride migration to form dimethylaminoborane derivatives. The adducts were not amenable to borane cation formation; those two cations eventually prepared, (CH2)6N4BH2py+ and (CH2)6N4BH2P(CH3) 3+, were not very stable.
