The compound is fully characterized by 11B, 1H, and 7Li NMR spectra and other means, and these data are compared to neutral and anionic benchmark compounds. The compound crystallizes as a dimer complexed to four THF molecules. The dimer lacks the bridging B-H bonds seen in neutral boranes and is instead held together by ionic Li - -HB interactions. A preliminary scan of reactions with several iodides shows that the compound participates in an ionic reduction (with a primary-alkyl iodide), an organometallic reduction (Pd-catalyzed with an aryl iodide), and a radical reduction (AIBN-initiated with a sugar-derived iodide). Accordingly the new borylborohydride class may share properties of both traditional borohydrides and isoelectronic N-heterocyclic carbene boranes. © 2010 American Chemical Society. date: 2010-08-25 date_type: published publication: Journal of the American Chemical Society volume: 132 number: 33 pagerange: 11449 - 11451 refereed: TRUE issn: 0002-7863 id_number: 10.1021/ja105277u pmid: 20677751 mesh_headings: Borates--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Borates--chemistry mesh_headings: Crystallography, X-Ray mesh_headings: Free Radicals--chemistry mesh_headings: Ions--chemistry mesh_headings: Models, Molecular mesh_headings: Molecular Structure mesh_headings: Organometallic Compounds--chemistry mesh_headings: Oxidation-Reduction mesh_headings: Stereoisomerism chemical_names: Borates chemical_names: Free Radicals chemical_names: Ions chemical_names: Organometallic Compounds citation: Nozaki, K and Aramaki, Y and Yamashita, M and Ueng, SH and Malacria, M and Lacôte, E and Curran, DP (2010) Boryltrihydroborate: Synthesis, structure, and reactivity as a reductant in ionic, organometallic, and radical reactions.
