Abstract
Two diphenylboron ortho-aminophenolate complexes, [BPh2(OC6H4(CH2NMe2)-2)] (2) and [BPh2(OC6H2(CH2NMe2)2-2,6-Me-4)] (6), have been prepared in a one-pot procedure approach starting from B(OMe)3. The starting material was reacted with two equivalents of phenylmagnesium bromide, followed by hydrolysis with HCl. The resulting borinic acid, BPh2(OH), was reacted with either HOC6H4(CH2NMe2)-2 or HOC6H2(CH2NMe2)2-2,6-Me-4 to give
