Zusammenfassung:The addition of CO to [((R 3 N)BH 2 ) 2 (μ-H)][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] leads to formation of trimethylboroxine ((MeBO) 3 ) and [(R 3 N) 2 BH 2 ][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ]. When R = Et, [(Et 3 N)H 2 B(μ-O)B(CH 3 )NEt 3 ][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ], is isolated and demonstrated to be an intermediate in the formation of (MeBO) 3 . CO undergoes complete reductive cleavage using highly electrophilic hydride bridged borocations to ultimately yield trimethylboroxine and the boronium salt.
