Group 13 hydrides Borane, stabilized by the bicyclic guanidine hppH, undergoes a thermal B-N dehydrocoupling reaction to give the diborane [H2B(hpp)]2. Catalytic B-B dehydrocoupling gives in high yield [HB(hpp)]2 with a direct B-B bond. We tested several catalysts to find the optimal conditions. With the best catalysts, we achieve complete transformation to [HB(hpp)]2 at 110 °C in less than 40 min. The [HB(hpp)]2 molecule has a rich chemistry, that we are currently developing in three directions: coordination chemistry, oxidative insertion into the B-B bond and hydride substitution, and synthesis of cationic boron hydrides (see Figure 1). Figure 1 (designed by Arne Wagner) Sulphur inserts oxidatively into the B-B bond. Since the reaction proceeds slow, one could see several electron transfer intermediates. The reaction mixture darkens with time, and the colors resemble those of a sunrise (see Figure 1, which was made by Nikola Schulenberg for the cover page of Eur. J. Inorg. Chem.). At the end the color fades. Figure 2 (designed by Dr. Nikola Schulenberg) The [HB(hpp)]2 molecule is a good ligand, and we prepared several complexes. a) b) Figure 3. Structures of two complexes with [HB(hpp)]2 as ligand. a) [Cr{HB(hpp)2}(CO)4], b) [Rh(cod){HB(hpp)}2Cl]. Interestingly, the complexes could be grouped in two classes: Complexes in which the electrons of the B-B bond are involved in metal-ligand bonding (late-transition metals), and those in which bonding predominantly involves the hydrides (earlier transition metals). Late-transition metals activate the B-B bond (see the parameters accumulated in the Table). + Addition of BR2 to the [HB(hpp)]2 molecule gives a B3 triangle featuring a closed B-B-B three-centre- two-electron bond. 2 The [HB(hpp)]2 molecule is isolobal to B2H6 and also to the ethane molecule. Curiously, hydride 2+ abstraction with B(C6F5)3 is followed by dimerization to give the tetraborane dication [B4(hpp)4H2] with a four-centre-four-electron bond. 2+ Figure 4.

Catalytic, Thermal, Regioselective Functionalization of Alkanes and Arenes with Borane Reagents
ACS Symposium Series 885, Activation and Functionalization of C-H Bonds, Karen I. Goldberg and Alan S. Goldman, eds. 2004. CHAP TER 8 Catalytic, Thermal, Regioselective Functionalization of Alkanes and Arenes with Borane Reagents John F. Hartwig Department of Chemistry, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8107 Work in the author’s group that has led to a regioselective catalytic borylation of alkanes at the terminal position is summarized. Early findings on the photochemical, stoichiometric functionalization of arenes and alkanes and the successful extension of this work to a catalytic functionalization of alkanes under photochemical conditions is presented first. The discovery of complexes that catalyze the functionalization of alkanes to terminal alkylboronate esters is then presented, along with mechanistic studies on these system and computational work on the stoichiometric reactions of isolated metal-boryl compounds with alkanes. Parallel results on the development of catalysts and a mechanistic understanding of the borylation of arenes under mild conditions to form arylboronate esters are also presented. © 2004 American Chemical Society 136 137 1. Introduction Although alkanes are considered among the least reactive organic molecules, alkanes do react with simple elemental reagents such as halogens and oxygen.1,2) Thus, the conversion of alkanes to functionalized molecules at low temperatures with control of selectivity and at low temperatures is a focus for development of catalytic processes.(3) In particular the conversion of an alkane to a product with a functional group at the terminal position has been a longstanding goal (eq. 1). Terminal alcohols such as n-butanol and terminal amines, such as hexamethylene diamine, are major commodity chemicals(4) that are produced from reactants several steps downstream from alkane feedstocks.

Box 12065, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91120, Israel 2Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry SB RAS, 9, Lavrentieva Ave., Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia Abstract Problems on using of β-aminoalkyl- and β-sulfanylalkylboranes in organic synthesis are considered in this review. The synthesis of boron containing α-aminoacids by Curtius rearrangement draws attention. The use of β-aminoalkylboranes available by enamine hydroboration are described. Examples of enamine desamination with the formation of alkenes, aminoalcohols and their transfor- mations into allylic alcohol are presented. These conversions have been carried out on steroids and nitro- gen containing heterocyclic compounds. The dihydroboration of N-vinyl-carbamate and N-vinyl-urea have been described. Examples using nitrogen and oxygen containing boron derivatives for introduction of boron functions were presented. The route to borylhydrazones by hydroboration of enehydrazones was envisaged. The possibility of trialkylamine hydroboration was shown on indole alkaloids and 11-azatricyclo- [6.2.11,802,7]2,4,6,9-undecatetraene examples. The synthesis of β-sulfanyl-alkylboranes by various routes was described. The synthesis of boronic thioaminoacids was carried out by free radical thiilation of dialkyl-vinyl- boronates. Ethoxyacetylene has been shown smoothly added 1-ethylthioboracyclopentane. Derivatives of 1,4-thiaborinane were readily obtained by divinylboronate hydroboration. Dialkylvinylboronates react with mercaptoethanol with the formation of 1,5,2-oxathioborepane derivatives. Stereochemistry of thiavinyl esters hydroboration leading to stereoisomeric β-sulfanylalkylboranes are discussed.

Burrows , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Chemistry and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the use of platinum-based catalysts to enhance endothermic fuel cooling. Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction to the motivation for this work. Chapter 2 presents fundamental studies on the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylene by size-selected Ptn (n = 4, 7, 8) clusters deposited onto thin film alumina supports. The model catalysts were probed by a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques including; temperature-programmed desorption and reaction (TPD/R), low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), plane wave density-functional theory (PW-DFT), and statistical mechanical theory. It is shown that the Pt clusters dehydrogenated approximately half of the initially adsorbed ethylene, leading to deactivation of the catalyst via (coking) carbon deposition.

Chapter 9 Hydrogen
Chapter 9 Hydrogen Diborane, B2 H6• is the simplest member of a large class of compounds, the electron-deficient boron hydrid Like all boron hydrides, it has a positive standard free energy of formation, and so cannot be prepared direct from boron and hydrogen. The bridge B-H bonds are longer and weaker than the tenninal B-H bonds (13: vs. 1.19 A). 89.1 Reactions of hydrogen compounds? (a) Ca(s) + H2Cg) ~ CaH2Cs). This is the reaction of an active s-me: with hydrogen, which is the way that saline metal hydrides are prepared. (b) NH3(g) + BF)(g) ~ H)N-BF)(g). This is the reaction of a Lewis base and a Lewis acid. The product I Lewis acid-base complex. (c) LiOH(s) + H2(g) ~ NR. Although dihydrogen can behave as an oxidant (e.g., with Li to form LiH) or reductant (e.g., with O2 to form H20), it does not behave as a Br0nsted or Lewis acid or base. It does not r with strong bases, like LiOH, or with strong acids. 89.2 A procedure for making Et3MeSn?

Abstract (Limit: 250 words) There are many remote traffic signals on the road that don’t have access to a regular power supply, so they use batteries that need to be changed quite often. A hydrogen fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity. It offers a clean and high-efficiency energy source to circumvent the problems associated with the conventional batteries. However, one major drawback that limits its utility is the use of compressed metal cylinders as a source of hydrogen. Chemical-based hydrogen production can provide a very compact and low-pressure storage option for the controlled release of hydrogen gas in large amounts.
