Rt. Pardasani, STUDIES ON THE SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF BORON STABILIZED CARBANIONS, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 74(6), 1997, pp. 433-439
In recent pears, one of the most significant developments which has pr
ofoundly added new dimensions to the organoboron chemistry has been th
e production of carbanions alpha-to boron. One attractive approach for
production of carbanions involves the use of highly hindered organobo
ranes such as dimesitylmethylborane. On this basis a large number of b
ifunctional boron complexes of the type Mes(2)BCH(2)MetR(x) have been
synthesised. Salient features of their synthesis and applications are
presented.
