Sources of Compounds Containing Boron—Carbon Bonds

  • Chapter
Stereodirected Synthesis with Organoboranes

Part of the book series: Reactivity and Structure Concepts in Organic Chemistry ((REACTIVITY,volume 32))

Abstract

The first step in the synthesis of organoboranes is the conversion of borax (sodium borate, Na2B4O7 −10H2O), the most common ore of boron [1], into a more tractable derivative for reduction. Acidification of borax with carbon dioxide yields boric acid [B(OH)3] [2], which reacts with various alcohols under dehydrating conditions such as azeotropic codistillation of water to form trialkyl borates [trialkoxyboranes, B(OR)3] [3]. Trimethyl borate [B(OCH3)3], from boric acid and methanol, forms an azeotrope with methanol. Pure trimethyl borate can be separated from the methanol in the azeotrope by extraction with mineral oil and distillation [2].
