摘要
The formation of products derived from competing reactions in Rh-catalyzed alkene hydroborations prompted us to study in situ interactions of several hydroborating reagents with unsaturated phosphinorhodium complexes. The reaction of [Rh(μ-H)(DiPPE)]2 (1) with borane–dimethylsulfide gave several rhodium–boron containing products including the structurally characterized metallaborane [RhH(DiPPE)]2B3H7 (2) [DiPPE=1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane]. Addition of thexylborane and 9-H-BBN dimers, containing alkyl groups, to 1 gave the corresponding mononuclear substituted borohydride complexes Rh(η2-H2BRR′)(DiPPE) (4: R=H, R′
