Dimethylamine adducts of triallyl-, triprenyl- and trans-cinnamyl(dipropyl)borane are effective reagents for mild homoallylation of primary amines with aqueous formaldehyde in MeOH without an inert atmosphere. A new concept is proposed for the explanation of the high stability of allylborane-amine adducts in aqueous MeOH.

Aziridines are commonly used as reagents for the synthesis of drug substances although they are potentially mutagenic and genotoxic. Therefore, their unambiguous detection is critically important. Unfortunately, tandem mass spectrometry (MS) based on collision-activated dissociation (CAD), a powerful method used for the identification of many unknown compounds in complex mixtures, does not provide diagnostic fragmentation patterns for ionized aziridines.

-nitrosamines are widespread cancerogenic compounds in human environment, including water, tobacco products, food, and medicinal products. Their presence in pharmaceuticals has recently led to several recalls of important medicines from the market, and strict controls and tight limits of -nitrosamines are now required. Analytical determination of -nitrosamines is expensive, laborious, and time-inefficient making development of simpler and faster techniques for their detection crucial.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Assisted Reversible Migratory Coupling of Aminoborane at Magnesium.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2022

Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, 409 McCormick Road, PO Box 400319, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA.

A combined synthetic and theoretical investigation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) adducts of magnesium amidoboranes is presented, which involves a rare example of reversible migratory insertion within a normal valent s-block element. The reaction of (NHC)Mg(N(SiMe ) ) (1) and dimethylamine borane yields the tris(amide) adduct (NHC-BN)Mg(NMe BH )(N(SiMe ) ) (2; NHC-BN = NHC-BH NMe ). In addition to Me N=BH capture at the C-Mg bond, mechanistic investigations suggest the likelihood of aminoborane migratory insertion from an RMg(NMe BH NMe BH ) intermediate.

Cisplatin is a widely used anti-cancer drug which inhibits the replication and polymerization of DNA molecule while showing some side effects and drug resistance. For this reason, to enhance its therapeutic index, researchers have synthesized several thousand analogs and tested their properties. In this project, several cisplatin analogs were designed to theoretically study the biological activity and lipophilicity effects on amine changes.

Polymorphism of dimethylaminoborane N(CH)-BH.

Acta Crystallogr B Struct Sci Cryst Eng Mater

April 2021

Heterogeneous Catalysis, Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz 1, Mülheim an der Ruhr, 45470, Germany.

Dehydrocoupling of the adduct of dimethylamine and borane, NH(CH)-BH leads to dimethylaminoborane with formal composition N(CH)-BH. The structure of this product depends on the conditions of the synthesis; it may crystallize either as a dimer in a triclinic space group forming a four-membered ring [N(CH)-BH] or as a trimer forming a six-membered ring [N(CH)-BH] in an orthorhombic space group. Due to the denser packing, the six-membered ring in the trimer structure should be energetically more stable than the four-membered ring.
