Abstract

Treatment of the diborane(4) compound B-2(NMe2)(4) with aniline or 2,6-dimethylaniline results in the primary amido compounds B-2(NHR)(4) ( R = Ph, 2,6-Me2C6H3); subsequent treatment with n-BuLi in toluene in each case affords the first examples of anionic imidodiborates namely Li-4(thf)(6)B-2(NPh)(4) and Li-4(thf)(4)B-2(N-2,6-Me2C6H3)(4); all complexes have been characterised crystallographically.
