Synthesis and structure of stable alpha 1-boranyldiazomethanes: 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-diazaborolyl-(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane and 1,3-diethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-benzodiazaborolyl-(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane

Reaction of equimolar amounts Of Me3SiC(N-2)Li with the 2-bromo-2,3-dihydro
-1H-1,3,2-diaza-borolederivatives tBuNCH=CHN(tBu)BBr (1), EtN-C(CH=CH-CH=CH
)CN(Et)BBr (3), and tBuNCH=C(CH=CH-CH=CH)N-B-Br (5) afforded the 1,3,2-diaz
aborolyldiazomethanes tBuNCH=CHN(tBu)B-C(N-2)SiMe3 (2), EtN-C(CH=CH-CH=CH)C
-AT(Et)B-C(N-2)SiMe3 (4), and tBuNCH=C(CH=CH-CH=CH)N-B-C(N-2)SiMe3 (6). The
X-ray structure analysis of 2 revealed a planar five-membered heterocycle
which is linked to the carbon atom of the diazomethyl unit via a B-C single
bond. pi -Interactions between this carbon atom and the boron atom can thu
s be excluded.
