A neutral 1,4-diaza-2,3,5,6-tetraborinine derivative (3) featuring a 6π ring system has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The prospective aromatic nature of 3 was assessed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, NMR, and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy as well as computational studies. Furthermore, preliminary reactivity investigations showed that 3 does not only react with diphenyl acetylene but also readily captures CO in a [4+2] cycloaddition under ambient conditions.
一种具有6π环体系的中性1,4-二氮杂-2,3,5,6-四硼壬衍生物(3)已被合成并进行了结构表征。通过单晶X射线分析、核磁共振、紫外/可见吸收光谱以及计算研究对3的潜在芳香性进行了评估。此外,初步的反应性研究表明,3不仅能与二苯乙炔反应,而且在环境条件下能在[4+2]环加成反应中轻松捕获CO。
