CHEMISTRY OF BORON
Abstract
This report includes: DERIVATIVES OF DIALKYL AND DIARYLBORON CYANIDES, by J. J. Bishop (1961). Attempts to purify and characterize the main product of the reaction between di-alpha-napthylborinic acid and hexacyanocobaltic acid were not successful. PREPARATION AND INVESTIGATION OF COMPOUNDS CONTAINING BORON-TO-TRANSITION-METAL BONDS, by R. A. Schunn (1961). Preparation is reported of NaCpFe(CO)2, where Cp equals picyclopentadienyl. Cp2Fe2(CO)4 was cleaved with a 6% Na amalgam in tetrahydrofuran; a yellow solid was obtained. Solid PCl5 was added to (C6H5)2BO(n-C4H9) and fractional distillation of the resultant mixture gave the (C6H5)2BCl as a water-white liquid. The following attempted preparations were not successful; CpFe(CO)2(B(nC4H9)2) by reaction of NaCpFe(CO)2 with (n-C4H9)2BCl; CpFe(CO)2(B(C6H5)2 by reaction of NaCpFe(CO)2 with (C6H5)2BCl in (CH3)20; and CpFe(CO)2-(B(C6H5)2) by reaction of NaCpFe(CO)2 with (C6H5)2BCl in petroleum ether.
