Heterocyclic boron compounds shifts

So far, only one detailed discussion of boron-11 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of aminoborane systems has been reported 31>. It was found that the 1 lB chemical shifts of aminoborane systems can be described fairly well in terms of a set of additive substituent contributions. In consonance with earlier work on trisubstituted boron compounds 35> these contributions depend on the mesomeric effects of substituents rather than their electronegativity. 1,3,2-diazaboracycloalkanes can be considered as aminoborane derivatives and in the case of the known heterocycles the exocyclic boron substituent will govern primarily the boron chemical shifts and will do so by mesomeric effects. However, the available data are rather limited and it may be possible that additional factors must be considered. Steric effects appear to be negligible, however, since the heterocycles with either six or seven annular atoms have almost identical shifts (Table 5). 

The carbon-boron heterocycle, 3-phenyl-3-benzoborepin, exhibits oxidative stability upon exposure to air, an unusual feature for a trivalent boron compound. In Table XVI are recorded the chemical shift data for the vinyl protons for the benzometallepins of B, Sn, and Si. The PMR spectrum of 3-phenyl-3-benzoborepin exhibits vinyl proton resonances at lower fields than would be expected for an olefinic boron compound (compared to trivinylboron or 4,5-dihydroborepin see Table XV), and also at lower field than the benzostannepin derivative (217). The shift to lower field of 0.4 to 0.8 ppm may be consistent with the presence of a ring current, which would require the participation of the Bp orbital in the 7r-electron system. Support for increased electron density at boron might be provided from B NMR measurements, but such data have not yet been reported. Complexation of boron, which converts the... 

NMR experiments on the reactions of halophosphates esters with pyridine showed that equilibria involving the formation of pyridinium salts in these reactions are almost entirely shifted to the left for chloro- and bromo-phosphates and to the right for the corresponding iodophosphates. This explains dramatic differences in chemical reactivity between these compounds. Substituted medium-sized and large N-heterocycles (117) have been prepared via an extension of the Suzuki reaction involving the palladium-catalysed coupling of vinyl-phosphates (118) with aryl or heteroaryl boronic acids (Scheme 27). ... 

Proton NMR spectroscopy is preferred for identifying endocyclic and exocyclic organic groups of the heterocycles. The boron atom in organoboron compounds influences the chemical shift S H. 

The six-membered ring heterocyclics containing two adjacent boron atoms, and are thus diboron derivatives, have been prepared and the shifts compared with the corresponding five-membered ring borolanes. There was a surprising degree of similarity between the pairs of compounds (40 and 41 X = 0 or S and Y = C1 or NMe2). The shifts of these and other diboron compounds are shown in Table X.
