As already noted, these elements do not have sufficient numbers of electrons in their valence shells to occupy all the valence orbitals. The normal result of this is a strong tendency toward association or Lewis acid–base complex formation—characteristics that often define the chemistry of these ...
The boron cation, B3 +, exists in aqueous solution as undissociated boric acid B(OH)3 and as the borate ion B(OH)4−. Formation waters with pH values lower than 9 favor B(OH)3 as the predominant species, because the pK values for following reaction [1]: [1]BOH4-borate=BOH3aqbo...
Reductive deoxygenation occurs in the particular case of aryl ketones.Finally, the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 is found to enable the intermolecular hydroamination of various terminal alkynes giving iminium alkynylborate complexes of the general formula [RPhN=C(CH3)R1][R1C鈮 B(C6F5)3]. The three-...
This study allows the discovery of new boron-oxygen core containing compounds with the same ability as 2-APB to both potentiate and inhibit the SOCE of different leukocyte cell lines. These compounds could represent new tools to characterize the different types of SOCE and the first step in the...
With the assistance of DFT calculations and spectroscopic studies it was possible to postulate the exclusive formation of the Lewis acid-base adduct [RO–→B(pin)–B(dan)], which reacts with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give exclusively the Cβ-Bdan carbonyl compound with high ...
