Nomenclature alcohols

Ebelman and Bouquet prepared the first examples of boric acid esters in 1846 from boron trichloride and alcohols. Literature reviews of this subject are available. B The general class of boric acid esters includes the more common orthoboric acid based trialkoxy- and triaryloxyboranes, B(0R)3 (1), and also the cyclic boroxins, (ROBO)3, which are based on metaboric acid (2). The boranes can be simple trialkoxyboranes, cyclic diol derivatives, or more complex trigonal and tetrahedral derivatives of polyhydric alcohols. Nomenclature is confusing in boric acid ester chemistry. Many trialkoxy- and triaryloxyboranes such as methyl, ethyl, and phenyl are commonly referred to simply as methyl, ethyl, and phenyl borates. The lUPAC boron nomenclature committee has recommended the use of trialkoxy- and triaryloxyboranes for these compounds, but they are referred to in the literature as boric acid esters, trialkoxy and triaryloxy borates, trialkyl and triaryl borates or orthoborates, and boron alkoxides and aryloxides. The lUPAC nomenclature will be used in this review except for relatively common compounds such as methyl borate. Boroxins are also referred to as metaborates and more commonly as boroxines. Boroxin is preferred by the lUPAC nomenclature committee and will be used in this review. 

The 1979lUPAC recommendations for alcohol nomenclature place the number indicating the location of the OH group before the name of the parent thus. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is named 1-butanol.
