New, systematic syntheses of boron hydrides via hydride ion abstraction reactions: Preparation of B2H6, B4H10, B5H11, and B10H14

The boron hydrides B2H6, B4H10, B5H11, and B10H14 are prepared in good yields through hydride ion abstraction reactions when the borane anions BH4-, B3H8-, B4H9-, and B9H14- respectively are treated with 1 molar equiv of a Lewis acid BX3 (X = F, Cl, or Br), generally in the absence of a solvent, for reaction periods of 1-4 h. A high-yield (85-90%) method for the conversion of B5H9 to B9H14- is presented as the precursor to the practical conversion of B5H9 to B10H14 (45-50%). Additionally, treatment of the anion BrB3H7- with BBr3 results in the formation of 2-BrB4H9 in low yield (15%). The hydride ion abstraction reactions by BBr3 and BCl3 lead to the new anions HBBr3- and HBCl3-.
