Abstract
We report the synthesis and structural characterization of three crystalline borylated ortho-silylaryl trifluoromethanesulfonates: 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, C16H24BF3O5SSi (1a), 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, C16H24BF3O5SSi (1b), and 2-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-6-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, C17H26BF3O5SSi (2), which are versatile aryne precursors. For all three compounds, the heteroatom substituents are almost coplanar with the central aromatic moiety. C—heteroatom bonding metrics are unexceptional and fall withing the typical range of C—B, C—Si, and C—O single bonds. Despite numerous electronegative sites, only weak intermolecular interactions are observed in the solid state.
