(ii) MEMORANDUM The work included in this thesis was carried out at the Durham Colleges Science Laboratories in the University of Durham between September 1958 and September 1961, and has not been submitted for any other Degree. Part of this work has already been the subject of a publication in the Journal of the Chemical Society. All the work described is the original work of the author, except that acknowledged by reference. (iii) SUMMARY Several aminodiarylboranes (Ar2B NR2) have been prepared by the methods: Ar2BCl + LiNR2 = Ar^B^NRg + LiCl (l) Ar^BCl + R2NH + Bt^N = Ar2B NR? + Et^NHCl .... (2) 2ArMgBr + C12B NR? = Ar2B NR2 + MgCl2 + MgBr2 . (3) Aminodiphenylborane (R = H, method 2) is dimeric and non- polar in benzene solution. Experiments with molecular models indicate that larger groups attached to the nitrogen would cause substantial steric interference even with the hydrogen atoms in ortho-positions on the aryl groups. Similarly, aminodiraesitylborane is monomeric. All the other aminodiarylboranes prepared are raonomeric in nitrobenzene solution, though often slightly associated in benzene particularly in the more concentrated solutions. The monomeric aminodiarylboranes have low dipole moments whose direction is reversed on passing from Ph2B*NMe2 to Ph2BNPh2. This reversal of polarity could be due to the electron repelling effect of a methyl group, whereas a phenyl group can act as an electron acceptor in such a system. All the observed moments are consistent with only a small or zero net polarity for the B-N bond. (iv) The rapid and quantitative hydrolysis, by cold water, of the aminoboranes was the basis of a method sometimes used for their analysis, and more important for a most con• venient method for the preparation of diarylborinic acids. Some twelve acids have been prepared as the monoethanolamine esters (yields 51-93$) by hydrolysis, nf the diarylarainor- borane obtained from the reaction of a slight excess of tbe appropriate Grignarrt reagent with dichlorodiphenylaminoborane. This would appear to be the most convenient preparative method for diarylborinic acids. Phosphinodiarylboranes are monomeric but unlike the amino nompounds they are quite stable to boiling dilute acids and alkalies* However, quantitative oxidation by aqueous alcoholic hydrogen peroxide to boric acid the phosphinic acid and the phenol has sometimes been used as a method for their analysis. Their dipole moments are generally greater than those of the corresponding amino-compounds, and the phosphino- group is at the negative end of the dipole. This surprising result suggests that phosphorus acts as a % donor (to boron) only weakly if at all in these compounds, possibly owing to an unfavourable relation between the "sizes" of boron 2p- and phosphorus 3p- orbitals. (v) Formula I accounts in a qualitative way not only for the observed dipole moments, but also for the lack of chemical reactivity, since both boron and phosphorus are co-ordinatively saturated (or partly so). Further r— the indicated charge separation between boron and phosphorus should result in B-P stretching force constants greater than would be expected for B-P single bonds, since the B-P bond would amount to a o-bond possibly with a small Ti-component but with some electrostatic attraction in addition. In this sense the B-P bond could perhaps be described as a "serai-polar double bond", thus accounting for the rather high frequencies (1400 - 1500 cm-1) associated with the stretching of the B-P bond. The reason for the phosphinodiarylboranes being monomeric, when the series R^B'PR^ (R = H, alkyl) form trimers, tetramers, or polymers, thus lies in the boron atom in the diarylborane series being already coordinatively saturated (or nearly so) not by TC-bonding with phosphorus but by ir-bonding with the aryl groups. The arsino-derivatives are similar to the phosphino- (vi) compounds but they are less polar. Perhaps the most sign• ificant difference is that oxidation with aqueous alcoholic hydrogen peroxide affords boric acid, arsenic acid and the appropriate phenols e.g. Ph2B AsAr2 + H,^ — 2PhOH + 2ArOH.+ H^BO^ + I^AsO^ The smaller dipole moments of the arsinoboranes is probably due to a smaller degree of electron transfer from arsenic to the aryl groups bound to it. It now seems evident that though the o'-donor character of nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic towards boron diminishes in that order the rc-donor character diminishes even more rapidly. The phosphinoboranes Ph B (PPh2)2, Ph P (BPh2)2, (Ph B PPh) and (Ph B PPh) have also been prepared. They are all more sensitive to oxidation than the phosphinodiarylboran.es men• tioned earlier. PART I INTRODUCT ION 1. A) ORGANO-DERIVATIVES OF BORIC ACID 1. PREPARATION OF TRIALKYL- & TRIARYL BORATES The best known and most stable organo derivatives of boric acid are the trialkyl and triaryl borates (RO)^B; unsymmetrical esters ROB(OR')2 are known but they tend to disproportionate to the symmetrical esters. Indeed disproportionation is a common and sometimes troublesome feature of organo-boron chemistry. Lappert"1" in his review describes several methods of p preparation of the borates. Ebelmen and Bouquet , the first workers to mention orthoborates, prepared trimethyl, triethyl, and triamyl borates by heating the appropriate alcohol with boron trichloride in a sealed tube, but attempts to prepare triallyl and tribenzyl borates were unsuccessful.

The results were positive and paved the way for future designs, even though protodeboronation was observed under the conditions employed. Keywords: Amide bond catalysis, calix[4]arene boronic acid, protodeboronation DOI: https://doi.org/10.24820/ark.5550190.p010.492 Page 221 ©ARKAT USA, Inc Arkivoc 2018, v, 221-229 Mafaune, A. T. et al. Introduction The importance of amide bonds to human kind cannot be overemphasized; they are ubiquitous in nature and indispensable in chemical applications. They can be found in compounds such as the polymers that make our lives easier; the insecticides and agrochemicals that ensure that we have food on our tables; and most notably in the pharmaceutical drugs that help us live longer. Amide bonds are also part of the building blocks of biological systems, linking together amino acid units forming peptides, proteins and enzymes. The amide is arguably the most important functional group in chemistry and it also happens to be the most frequently synthesized in medicinal chemistry.1 Because of the versatility and importance of the amide bond, catalytic direct amide formation has been highlighted as a top priority reaction from a green chemistry viewpoint.

  • 1 Structure, Properties, and Preparation of Boronic Acid Derivatives Overview of Their Reactions and Applications Dennis G
    j1 1 Structure, Properties, and Preparation of Boronic Acid Derivatives Overview of Their Reactions and Applications Dennis G. Hall 1.1 Introduction and Historical Background Structurally, boronic acids are trivalent boron-containing organic compounds that possess one carbon-based substituent (i.e., a CÀB bond) and two hydroxyl groups to fill the remaining valences on the boron atom (Figure 1.1). With only six valence electrons and a consequent deficiency of two electrons, the sp2-hybridized boron atom possesses a vacant p-orbital. This low-energy orbital is orthogonal to the three substituents, which are oriented in a trigonal planar geometry. Unlike carbox- ylic acids, their carbon analogues, boronic acids, are not found in nature. These abiotic compounds are derived synthetically from primary sources of boron such as boric acid, which is made by the acidification of borax with carbon dioxide. Borate esters, one of the key precursors of boronic acid derivatives, are made by simple dehydration of boric acid with alcohols. The first preparation and isolation of a boronic acid was reported by Frankland in 1860 [1]. By treating diethylzinc with triethylborate, the highly air-sensitive triethylborane was obtained, and its slow oxidation in ambient air eventually provided ethylboronic acid. Boronic acids are the products of a twofold oxidation of boranes. Their stability to atmospheric oxidation is considerably superior to that of borinic acids, which result from the first oxidation of boranes. The product of a third oxidation of boranes, boric acid, is a very stable and relatively benign compound to humans (Section 1.2.2.3). Their unique properties and reactivity as mild organic Lewis acids, coupled with their stability and ease of handling, are what make boronic acids a particularly attractive class of synthetic intermediates.

  • Pyrophoric Materials
    Appendix A PYROPHORIC MATERIALS Pyrophoric materials react with air, or with moisture in air. Typical reactions which occur are oxidation and hydrolysis, and the heat generated by the reactions may ignite the chemical. In some cases, these reactions liberate flammable gases which makes ignition a certainty and explosion a real possibility. Examples of pyrophoric materials are shown below.
