Na[(H3B)2NMe2]·benzo-15-crown-5 is a molecular compound in the solid state, with a [(μ-H-BH2)2N(CH3)2]− ligand; only one hydrogen atom of each BH3 group coordinates to the Na center. The reaction between NaSH and THF·BH3 under dehydrogenation conditions or between anhydrous...
Phenols, when converted to the corresponding phosphate ester by reaction with diethylchloro-phosphidate and base, are reduced to hydrocarbons by dissolving metal reduction. Treatment of the phosphate ester with either Li/NH3(1) or Na/NH3(1) provides good yields of aromatic hydrocarbons <55JCS522>...
