Ej. Corey et al., A HYPOTHESIS FOR CONFORMATIONAL RESTRICTION IN COMPLEXES OF FORMYL COMPOUNDS WITH BORON LEWIS-ACIDS - EXPERIMENTAL-EVIDENCE FOR FORMYL CH--O AND CH--F HYDROGEN-BONDS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(1), 1997, pp. 33-36
X-Ray crystallographic analysis of six complexes of formyl compounds w
ith B-F or B-O containing boron Lewis acids reveals in every case a ge
ometric preference for a conformation in which the formyl group and th
e B-F or B-O bond are coplanar, or nearly so. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsev
