Resonance Stabilization Energy of 1,2-Azaborines: A Quantitative Experimental Study by Reaction Calorimetry
摘要:
Aromatic and single-olefin six-membered BN heterocycles were synthesized, and the heats of hydrogenation were measured calorimetrically. A comparison of the hydrogenation enthalpies of these compounds revealed that 1,2-azaborines have a resonance stabilization energy of 16.6 +/- 1.3 kcal/mol, in good agreement with calculated values.
Crystal Clear Structural Evidence for Electron Delocalization in 1,2-Dihydro-1,2-azaborines
摘要:
The first examples of "pre-aromatic" 1,2-dihydro-1,2- azaborine heterocycles have been structurally characterized, enabling the direct comparison of delocalized bonds of 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborines to their corresponding formal double and single bonds in nonaromatic systems. The crystallographic data provide an unprecedented look into the structural changes that occur in six-membered BN-heterocycles on their road to aromaticity, and they establish with little ambiguity that 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborines posse ss delocalized structures consistent with aromaticity.
