Cyclic boroureas have been prepared by reaction of phenyl isocyanate with either B, B',B"-tris (diethylamino)borazine, (Et Ν· Β· NEt) , or tert­ -butylamino bis(diisopropylamino)borane, (Pri2 N) Β· NHBu . Similarly, from tris (tert-butylamino) borane, B(NHBu ) , and carbon dioxide, a cyclic borocarbamate has been obtained. Analogous ex­ amples of aminoboration of phenyl isocyanate and phenyl isothiocyanate using tris(tert-butylamino) borane, affording acyclic derivatives, B[N(Ph)· C(:X)· NHBu ] , (X = Ο or S), have been demonstrated. Structures have been confirmed by alcoholic degradations and infrared spectra. It is suggested that the mechanism of the reactions from aminoboranes involves successive addition and elimination steps. 2

VU hile this work was in progress (6), we became aware of the experiments of others, which also involve aminoboration of organic isocyanates and/or isothiocyanates. Thus, -trimethylborazine, (MeB-NH) , with isocyanates gave (Equation 1) cyclic boroureas (4). This has been confirmed, although the possibility of various alternative and structurally isomeric species was recognized (3). Other examples —e.g., Equation 2 (6) — of aminoboration of isocya­ nates and isothiocyanates have been described (3, 6, 7, 8). 1 1

The present work also forms part of a program on the boration re­ actions of unsaturated compounds. Thus, initially it was shown that chloroboration and phenylboration of certain olefins could be effected (10); and later, that this could be extended (Equation 3) to phenyl isoand isothiocyanates (12). Relevant to aminoborations are observations that aminostannanes, such asMe Sn-NMe , and other metal- or metal­ loid-amino derivatives react—e.g., Equation 4—with many unsaturated compounds, including phenyl iso- and isothiocyanates, in an analogous fashion (5, 9). 3

Acyclic boroureas (13) and borourethanes (14) have been made i n ­ dependently by other methods, the former from isocyanatoboranes and amines, and the latter from aminoboranes and organic urethanes. Discussion Reactions leading to cyclic boroureas and borocarbamates, and the alcoholic degradation of these species, are outlined in reaction schemes A to C ; no attempt was made to isolate those compounds indicated in italics in scheme A.

By contrast to scheme C, the aminoboration of phenyl iso- andisothiocyanate (scheme D), using tris(ter£-butylamino)-borane, did not give cyclic boroureas or thioureas, but gave acyclic derivatives, which failed to cyclize (by elimination of tert- buty lamine) upon pyrolysis. Even with a deficiency of phenyl isocyanate, all three tert- buty lamino groups were replaced. Structure IV (X=0) was confirmed by alcoholysis of IV to afford teri-butylcarbanilide and orthoborate.

The contrasting results in (B) and (D) are attributed to the greater steric hindrance of replacement of P r g N - compared with B u ^ N H - , when either is attached to boron. Further examples of steric effects are our failure to observe any reaction between phenyl isocyanate and 5-chloroborazines, e.g., with ( C l - B - N - R ) , R = B u , Pr , or Ph; reflux after 48 hours. Similarly, it was noted (15) that ( M e N - B - N H ) and phenyl isocyanate not only formed a ring compound analogous to I, but also gave V; while with phenyl isothiocyanate, the sulfur analog of V was the only product isolated. ITiese results indicate that insertion res

Some characteristics of the new boron compounds are indicated in Table I.

We regard the mechanism of these aminoboration reactions as in­ volving successive addition and elimination steps. This is illustrated in two instances in schemes (E) and (F); in (F), traces of free amine were required for reaction to proceed. For this reason, we prefer, in absence of further experimental data, to formulate the product of Re­ action 1 as VI, and not as indicated in Equation 1.

Scheme A. Phenyl isocyanate (5-58 grams) was heated under re­ flux with the borazine (2-95 grams) (2) in light petroleum (30 ml.) (b. p. 60 - 80°) for 3 hours. On removal of solvent, the crude borourea (I) (8 20 grams), (m.p. 60- 65°), was obtained. After recrystalliza­ tion from benzene it had a melting point of 65 - 68° (Found: C, 68-3; H, 6·9; N, 15-1; B, 3-3%; MW. 352. H N 0 Β requires C, 68-7; H, 7-0; N, 15· 2 ; B, 3· 2%; MW. 363). 1-Octanol (in excess) was added to I (1.95 grams). The mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. Distillation afforded tri-w-octoxyborane (2.05 grams, 95%), (b.p. 176°/0.4 mm., n ^ 1.4384 (Found: B, 2.69. Calculated for C H 0 B : B , 2.72%) [Lappert (11) gives b.p. 174°/0.4 mm. , η β 1.4377]. From the solid residue, there was obtained w-octyl AT-phenylcarbamate (2.40 grams, 90%) (m.p. 72 - 74° ) (Found: N, 6.1. C H N 0 requires N, 5. 9%); this appears to be a new compound. Scheme B. Two experiments were carried out, using an equimolar or a 1 to 2 molar ratio of borane to isocyanate. In both instances, the latter stoichiometry was established; only the former experiment is described. tert- Buty lamino- bis (diisopropylamino)borane (4-40 grams) (2) was heated under reflux with phenyl isocyanate (1-80 grams) in light petro­ leum (ca. 30 ml.) (b.p. 40-60°) for 4 hours. Only a small amount of product appeared to have beenformed and solvent was therefore re­ moved. Benzene (ca. 30 ml.) was then added, in order to enable a high­ er reflux temperature to be employed. After 3 hours'further reflux­ ing, the mixture was cooled, and addition of light petroleum (ca. 15 ml.) (b.p. 40 - 60°) precipitated the cyclic borourea (Π) (2-8 grams, 90%) (m.p. 142- 45°) (Found: C, 68-5; Η, 7-5; N, 13-4; B, 2-72%;MW. 403. C H N 0 B requires C, 69-0; Η, 7-9; N, 13-3; B, 2-75%; MW. 420). Removal of volatiles from the filtrate led to recovery of the starting borane (2 · 30 grams). A mixture of II (2-00 grams) and w-butanol (1-06 grams) was heated under reflux for 0.5 hour. Diisopropylamine (0-45gram, 93%) (authen­ tic infrared spectrum) was condensed at -78°/760 mm. A white solid crystallized, when the residue was cooled, and complete precipitation was effected by addition of light petroleum (ca. 5 ml. ) (b.p. 40 - 60°). The solid was identified as N, ΛΓ'-di- ter£-butyl-biuret (1-40 grams, 88%) 25

(m.p. 137 - 40°) (Found: N, 13-7; C H N 02 requires N, 13-5%); this appears to be a new compound. The filtrate afforded t r i - w-butoxyborane (1-0 gram, 95%) (b.p. 95°/5 m m . , r$ 1-4094) (Found: B, 4-68. Calculated for C H 0 B : B, 4-72%) [Lappert (11) gives b.p. 115°/15 m m . , n™ 1-4085] . 18

Scheme C . Solid carbon dioxide (in excess) was washed with light petroleum and added to tris- (tert-butylamino) borane (4· 00 grams) at 20°. Initially there appeared to be no reaction, but addition of a trace of tert- buty lamine resulted in the exothermal formation of a white solid. The mixture was shakenfor 0.5 hours with light petroleum and the cyclic borocarbamate (ΙΠ) (4-15 grams, 96%) (m.p. 118-20°) (Found: C, 49-8; H, 7-4; N, 11-6; B, 4-45. C H N O B requires C, 49-6; H, 7- 9; N, 11-6; B, 4-50%) was thus obtained.

To compoundΙΠ (5-40grams), 1-butanol (4-80grams) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour, while volatile material was col­ lected in a trap at -78° . There was thus obtained tri-n-butoxyborane 4-90 grams, 95%) (b.p. 110°/10mm., ng 1-4081) (Found: B, 4-72%), while in the trap was isolated the white solidN-teri-butylcarbamic acid, identical to a specimen produced from fer£-buty lamine and carbondioxide. Scheme D (X=0). Two experiments were carried out, using 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 molar ratios of borane to isocyanate. In both instances, the latter stoichiometry was established ; only the former experiment is described. The borane (3·00 grams) was dissolved in light petroleum (ca. 40 ml.) (b.p. 40 - 60°). Addition of phenyl isocyanate was exothermal; the mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours. The acyclic borourea (IV; X = 0 ) (4-4 grams, 85%) (m.p. 125 - 30°) (Found: C, 67-9; H, 8- 4; N, 14-3; B, 1-95%; MW. 541. C H N 0 B requires C, 68-0; H, 7-7; N, 14-4; B, 1-88%; MW. 584) was obtained by filtration and re­ crystallization from benzene. From the filtrate, t r i s - (tert-buty lamino) borane (1-00 gram) (authentic infrared spectrum) was obtained. Compound IV (X = O) (3-20 grams) was heated under reflux with 1butanol (1-20 grams) for 1 hour. Precipitation was completed, after cooling the mixture, by addition of light petroleum. N-tert-butyl-N'phenylurea (2-7 grams, 86%) (m.p. 148 - 50°) (Found: N, 14.4. C H N 0 requires N, 14-7%) was thus obtained; it appears to be a new compound. From the filtrate, tri-n-butoxyborane (1-00 gram, 80%) (wf) 1-4096) (Found: B, 4-70%) was recovered. Compound IV (X = O) was recovered substantially unchanged after being heated at 120°/0·02 m m . , for 2 hours. Scheme D (X = S). A mixture of the borane (2-60 grams) and phenyl isothiocyanate (3-10 grams) in light petroleum (ca. 40 ml.) (b.p. 40 60°) was heated under reflux for 3 hours. No reaction appeared to have taken place, so the solvent was removed and the residue was heated under reflux for a further 2 hours. After the resulting solid had been cooled and recrystallized from benzene, there was obtained the acyclic borothiourea (IV; X = S) (4-40 grams, 77%) (m.p. 130 - 33°) (Found: C, 62-5; Η, 8-4; N, 12-9; S, 14-9. C N S B requires C, 62· 5; H, 7-2; N, 13-1; S, 15-1%). 33
