Reactions of Boron Amidinates with CO<sub>2</sub> and CO and Other Small Molecules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reaction of Piers' borane, HB(C(6)F(5))(2), with either tert-butyl or isopropyl carbodiimide cleanly affords the boron amidinates HC(RN)(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2) [R = iPr (1), tBu (2)]. These species undergo a variety of insertion reactions. For example, treatment of 1 with CO(2) or excess carbodiimide gives HC(iPrN)(2)(CO(2))B(C(6)F(5))(2) (3) or HC(iPrN)(2)C(iPrN)(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2) (4), respectively. Similarly, exposure of 1 or 2 to 1 atm CO gives HC(RN)(2)(CO)B(C(6)F(5))(2) [R = iPr (5), tBu (6)], while reaction of 1 with CNtBu gives HC(RN)(2)(CNtBu)B(C(6)F(5))(2) [R = iPr (7), tBu (8)]. Compounds 1 and 2 also react with benzaldehyde, resulting in the formation of HC(RN)(2)(PhHCO)B(C(6)F(5))(2) [R = iPr (9), tBu (10)]. Compound 1 also reacts with MeCN to give HC(iPrN)(2)(MeCN)B(C(6)F(5))(2) (11) and effects heterolytic C-H cleavage to afford HC(iPrN)(iPrNH)(PhCC)B(C(6)F(5))(2) (12). In contrast, the species PhC(iPrN)(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2) (14) derived from PhC(iPrN)(2)BCl(2) (13) failed to react with any of the above substrates. These data, in addition to the isolation of HC(iPrN)(2)(C(6)F(4))BF(C(6)F(5)) (15), the product of thermolysis of 1, provide further support for the notion that the transient "open-chain" form of these amidinates is present in solution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
