This colourless liquid is a derivative of catechol and a borane, having the formula C6H4O2BH. ==Synthesis and structure== Traditionally catecholborane is produced by treating catechol with borane (BH3) in a cooled solution of THF. However, this method results in a loss of 2 mole equivalents of the hydride. Nöth and Männig devised a more economical method involves the reaction of alkali-metal boron hydride (LiBH4, NaBH4, of KBH4) with tris(catecholato)bisborane in an ethereal solvent such as diethyl ether.〔(Process for producing catecholborane - Patent 4739096 )〕 In 2001 Herbert Brown released an additional procedure for catecholborane synthesis. His method involves treating tri-''O''-phenylene bis-borate with diborane in a solution of either triglyme or tetraglyme. Brown claimed his method produces 85% yield of 97% pure product, catecholborane.〔(New Economical, Convenient Procedures for the Synthesis of Catecholborane )〕 Unlike borane itself or alkylboranes, catechol borane exists as a monomer. This behavior is a consequence of the electronic influence of the alkoxy groups that diminish the Lewis acidity of the boron centre. Pinacolborane adopts a similar structure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「catecholborane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
