Synthesis and Characterization of Boron Spirochelates. I. Some Mixed-Ligand Boron(III) Heterocycles Containing a Diol and 8-Quinolinol
摘要:
The reaction of B(OPr-i)(3) with 8-quinolinol (OXH) in 1:1 molar ratio in refluxing benzene yields [OXB(OPr-i)(2)](1). Further reaction of (1) with diols in refluxing benzene yields spirochelates of boron(III) of the type [OXB(O-G-O)] (where G= -CH2-CH2-, -CH2-CH-CH2-CH3-C(CH3)(2)-(CH3)(2)C-,-(CH2)(4)- -CH2-CH(C2H5)-CH-CH2-CH2-CH3, (CH3)(2)C-CH2-CH-CH3, and -(CH2)(6)-). All these derivatives are soluble in common organic solvents and are monomeric. They were characterised by elemental analyses, IR and multinuclear NMR (H-1, C-13, B-11) spectral studies. These studies suggest a weak coordination between boron and the nitrogen of the 8-quinolinol moiety leading to tetracoordination around boron in all of these derivatives.
