Abstract Die selektive Bildung homonuklearer Bindungen ist in der synthetischen Chemie von zentraler Bedeutung. Insbesondere Dehydrokupplungsreaktionen sind als ökologische und ökonomische Alternativen zu etablierten reduktiven Bindungsbildungsreaktionen attraktiv, da sie nicht den Einsatz stöchiometrischer Mengen eines Reduktionsmittels erfordern und nur wertvollen Wasserstoff als Nebenprodukt erzeugen. Hier berichten wir über eine metallfreie B−B‐Dehydrokupplungsreaktion, die direkt von einem einfachen, leicht zugänglichen BH 3 ‐Addukt startet und einen bequemen Zugang zu einem neuen nukleophilen Dihydridodiboran in exzellenter Ausbeute bietet. Das Dihydridodiboran wiederum aktiviert Wasserstoff, sodass durch D 2 ‐Aktivierung quantitativ das Dideuteridodiboran aus dem Dihydridodiboran erhalten werden kann. Auf Grundlage detaillierter quantenchemischer Berechnungen wird der Mechanismus dieser beispiellosen Reaktion aufgeklärt. Einige für die metallfreie Dehydrokupplung essenzielle Kernpunkte werden aufgezeigt und dadurch der Weg für einen systematischen Zugang und Anwendung bereitet.
Abstract The chemistry of dicationic diboranes with two B II atoms that are engaged in direct B−B bonding is by enlarge unexplored, although these molecules have intriguing properties due to their combined Lewis acidic and electron‐donor properties. Unsymmetric dicationic diboranes are extremely rare, but especially attractive due to their polarized B−B bond. In this work we report the directed synthesis of several stable unsymmetric dicationic diboranes by reaction between the electron‐rich ditriflato‐diborane B 2 (hpp) 2 (OTf) 2 (hpp=1,3,4,6,7,8‐hexahydro‐2 H ‐pyrimido[1,2‐α]pyrimidinate) and phosphino‐pyridines, establishing B−N and B−P bonds with the diborane concomitant with triflate elimination. In the case of 2‐((ditertbutylphosphino)methyl)pyridine, the B−N bond is formed instantly, but the B−P bond formation requires (due to steric constraints) several days at ambient conditions for completion, creating an intermediate that could be used for frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)‐like chemistry. Here we test its reaction with an aldehyde, and propose a new type of FLP‐like chemistry.

Abstract The introduction of electron‐donating, bridging guanidinate substituents in diborane(4) compounds allows the synthesis of a variety of new cationic diborane(4) compounds. In this work, strategies for the directed synthesis of cationic di‐ and tetraboron compounds are presented, leading to the synthesis and complete characterization of several new compounds with distinct structural motifs, all exhibiting B II atoms directly bound to each other. Hence, we report on tetracationic donor‐acceptor cyclophanes with diboron donor linkers and organic π‐acceptor units, on paddlewheel‐type cationic diboranes, and on unsymmetrically‐substituted monocationic diboranes.
