Crystal and Molecular Structure of 4,4-Dimethyl-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-azonia-2- boranatacyclopentane

Abstract

Crystals of 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-azonia-2-boranatacyclopentane are orthorhombic, a = 17.043(3), b = 6.289(1), c = 13.024(2) Å, Z = 4, space group Pna21. The structure was determined by direct methods, and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.071 for 1100 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Bond angles in the five-membered ring, which has a distorted half-chair conformation, range from 101.5(4) for OBO to 107.1(4)° for NOB. Bond lengths are: mean B—C, 1.632(8), B—O, 1.506(7) and 1.556(8), N—O, 1.409(5), C—O, 1.378(9), C—N, 1.467–1.509(7–10), mean C—C(aromatic), 1.395(25) Å. The structure consists of discrete molecules separated by normal van der Waals distances.
