T. Jelinek et al., 9-VERTEX POLYHEDRAL MONOAZABORANE CHEMISTRY - SYNTHESIS AND NMR CHARACTERIZATION OF 6-LIGAND-ARACHNO-4-AZANONABORANES(11),6-L-4-NB8H11, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(10), 1994, pp. 2244-2252
Reactions between arachno-4-NB8H13 and Lewis bases L in dichloromethan
e or without solvent generate the previously unreported series of arac
hno compounds exo-6-L-arachno-4-NB8H11, where L = pyridine (py), quino
line (quin), isoquinoline (i-quin), urotropine (uro), and MeCN. These
are characterized by mass spectrometry together with B-11 and H-1 NMR
spectroscopy. The NMR results permit complete assignment of all resona
nces and thence permit comparison with the structurally similar compou
nds exo-6-L-arachno-4-EB8H10 (for E = CH2 or S).
