Abstract

Ab initio calculations on the model H2BN to HBNH rearrangement suggest that the Curtius-type thermolysis of boron azide (R2B–N3) yielding iminoborane (RBNR) does not involve the intermediacy of borylnitrene (R2B–N); under photochemical conditions, the later can, however, be formed from the lowest-lying triplet state of azide and does not rearrange to its more stable isomer but undergoes instead typical reactions.
