Abstract
Abstract 4,8-Di- tert -butyl-2,10-dimethyl-12 H -dibenzo[ d , g ][1,3,2]dioxaborocine ( 1 ) has been prepared in high yield by the addition of H 3 B · SMe 2 to 6,6′-methylene(2- tert -butyl-4-methylphenol). Dioxaborocine 1 is a relatively stable solid that reacts with a variety of aliphatic alkenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Cp*IrCl 2 ] 2 to give the terminal hydroboration products. Analogous reactions with vinylarenes, however, afford the corresponding alkenylboronate esters along with equal amounts of the hydrogenation products. Boron products have been characterized by a number of physical and analytical methods, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
