A general, rhodium-catalyzed, synthesis of deuterated boranes and n-methyl polyaminoboranes

Abstract:
The rhodium complex [Rh(Ph2PCH2CH2CH2PPh2)(η6‐FC6H5)][BArF4], 2, catalyzes BH/BD exchange between D2 and the boranes H3B⋅NMe3, H3B⋅SMe2 and HBpin, facilitating the expedient isolation of a variety of deuterated analogues in high isotopic purities, and in particular the isotopologues of N‐methylamine‐borane: R3B⋅NMeR2 1‐dx (R=H, D; x=0, 2, 3 or 5). It also acts to catalyze the dehydropolymerization of 1‐dx to give deuterated polyaminoboranes. Mechanistic studies suggest a metal‐based polymerization involving an unusual hybrid coordination insertion chain‐growth/step‐growth mechanism.
