Abstract
Abstract The relative ease of formation of five-, six-, seven-, and eight-membered cyclic benzeneboronates is discussed. Pentane-1,3,5-triol forms, by interaction with benzene-boronic anhydride, exclusively DL -4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane. It is suggested that, in this compound, the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group is intramolecularly co-ordinated with the boron atom.
