TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assign the B-C asymmetric stretching mode in trialkylboranes to the 1116 to 1150 cm-1 range, which is the same as that of alkyldiborane.
Abstract: Contrary to previously published values, the characteristic B–C asymmetric stretching mode in trialkylboranes is assigned to the 1116 to 1150 cm—1 range. The basis for the assignment of the various characteristic bond vibrations is the comparison of the infrared spectrum of trimethylborane‐b10 with the infrared and Raman spectra of isotopically normal trimethylborane. The new values lead to better consistency with spectra of other trialkylboranes and alkyldiboranes.
TL;DR: In the presence of Ni(acac) 2 (0.1 equiv.), the three components of trimethylborane, isoprene, and aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes combine to produce 1-substituted 3-methyl-3-hexenols ( 3 ) in good yield and with high regio- and stereoselectivity ( E : Z >13:1) as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: In this paper, the bonding in the methyl compounds of lithium, boron and zinc was studied by semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital calculations and the delocalized molecular orbitals were transformed to localized orbitals, revealing the nature of the bonding.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that trimethyl-aluminium, -gallium, and -indium react with acetoxime at −78° to form related compounds (Me2C:NOMMe2)2(M = Al, Ga, or In), which are thought to be dimeric in the gas, solution, and crystal phases and to contain similar rings.
Abstract: Acetoxime reacts at 100° with trimethylborane to form methane and (Me2C:NOBMe2)n, which is monomeric (n= 1) in the gas phase, partially associated (n= 1·3–1·4) in benzene solution, and probably dimeric in the crystal phase. A six-membered “BONBON” ring structure seems likely for this compound, although a four-membered “BOBO” ring cannot be ruled out on present evidence. Trimethyl-aluminium, -gallium, and -indium react with acetoxime at –78° to form related compounds (Me2C:NOMMe2)2(M = Al, Ga, or In), which are thought to be dimeric in the gas, solution, and crystal phases and to contain similar rings. Trimethylthallium at room temperature gives the analogous derivative Me2C:NOTlMe2. Methyl-lithium and acetoxime give the polymeric Me2C:NOLi. The mass i.r., and 1H n.m.r. spectra of these compounds are discussed, the latter showing a remarkable solvent effect. Reaction between diborane and acetoxime leads to general decomposition.
TL;DR: The feasibility of using organoboranes as precursors for the deposition of boron-carbon thin films in a hot-wall CVD furnace was investigated in this paper.
