Description
A series of 2-phenylbenzo[d]1,3,2-diazaborole (diazaborole) analogs were synthesized via microwave-induced cyclic condensation of substituted- 1,2-phenylenediamine and phenylboronic acid. Evidence supports that one of the amide analogues (AR3-15k) forms a dimeric charge transfer complex. To expand this series, an amidination of 4-aminocarbonylphenylboronic acid was performed to produce a novel 4-amidinophenylboronic acid. Diazaboroles synthesized using 4-amidinophenylboronic acid will allow us to explore potential future charge transfer complexes with amidine instead of amide functional groups.
