Diboron

C, b.p. 91 C, and has very similar properties to boron chloride but is a stronger Lewis acid. Diboron tetrabromide BjBr, is also known. 

Polymerization by G—G Goupling. An aromatic carbon—carbon coupling reaction has been employed for the synthesis of rigid rod-like polyimides from imide-containing dibromo compounds and aromatic diboronic acids ia the presence of palladium catalyst, Pd[P(CgH )2]4 (79,80). 

Boric Oxide. Boric oxide, formula wt 69.62, is the only commercially important oxide. It is also known as diboron trioxide, boric...

Porphyrin-based diboronic acids as artificial receptors for saccharides 98YGK831. 

In a classical multi-step route the critical point is to conduct (he ring closure quantitatively and regioseleclively. In the synthesis of I.PPP, the precursor polymer 13 is initially prepared in an aryl-aryl coupling from an aromatic diboronic acid and an aromatic dibromoketone.

A different approach to the preparation of boron macrocycles can be made by using diboronates 69-71 for the construction of the macrocyclic derivatives... 

In contrast, reaction of ligand 72 with 4,4 -biphenyldiboronic acid has been successful and diboronate 73 is obtained in yields of 33%. This complex acts as a receptor for the paraquat dication forming a 1 1 complex with an association constant of 320 in acetone. The intermolecular forces responsible for the complexation are ion-dipole stabilization between the dative N B dipoles and the two cationic centers in paraquat, attractive tz-tz interactions between... 

Fig. 19. Transformation of diboronates 69-71 to macrocyclic derivatives was not possible, however, with 4,4 -biphenyldiboronic acid 72 compound 73 is formed...

Finally, a huge number of different boronic and diboronic acids has been designed with the aim to use them as molecular receptors for saccharide...

Competitive binding studies have shown that 164 and 166 are suitable for the detection of glucose at physiological levels [253-255]. Diboronate 165 is capable of chiral recognition of monosaccharides and gave the best chiral recognition for fructose when tested with a series of different saccharides [255]. 

Compounds 167-171 outlined in Fig. 43 form another series of diboronic acids that form complexes with mono- and disaccharides. In these cases the asymmetrical immobilization of chromophoric functional groups, e.g., aromatic rings in 167-170 or Fe -complexation with the related boronate 171, can be analyzed by circular dichroism measurements [256-262].

Reductive methods form B—B bonds from B—X bonds. For B2X4 (X = Cl, Br, I) from BXj, an electric discharge is supplemented by the presence of a metal, or metal atoms, as halide scavenger. The passage of BX3 at low pressure through a rf discharge in the presence of Hg produces the diboron tetrahalides B2X4 at 300 mg h ... 

Diboron compounds with alkylamino or alkyloxy substituents are prepared from the appropriate halogenoborane derivative using active metals " ...
