Bis(pinacolato)diboron is a covalent compound containing two boron atoms and two pinacolato ligands. It has the formula [(CH3)4C2O2B]2; the pinacol groups are sometimes abbreviated as "pin", so the structure is sometimes represented as B2pin2. It is a colourless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a commercially available reagent for making pinacol boronic esters for organic synthesis. Unlike some other diboron compounds, B2pin2 is not moisture-sensitive and can be handled in air.[1]
Preparation and structure
This compound may be prepared by treating tetrakis(dimethylamino)diboron with pinacol in acidic conditions.[1] The B-B bond length is 1.711(6) Å.
Dehydrogenation of pinacolborane provides an alternative route:[2]
- 2 (CH3)4C2O2BH → (CH3)4C2O2B-BO2C2(CH3)4 + H2
Reactions
thumb|left|110px The B-B bond adds across alkenes and alkynes to give the 1,2-diborylated alkanes and alkenes. Using various organorhodium or organoiridium catalysts, it can also be installed onto saturated hydrocarbons:[3]
- CH3(CH2)6CH3 + [pinB]2 → pinBH + CH3(CH2)7Bpin
These reactions proceed via boryl complexes. Bis(pinacolato)diboron can also be used as reducing agent for example in transition metal catalyzed hydrogenations of alkenes and alkynes. [4]
