The reactions of 9-phenyl-9-borafluorene with N H, P H, O H, and S H containing substrates were investigated. Protodeborylation reactions were observed for phenol, water, aniline, and para-bromothiophenol. In the water reaction, both O H bonds reacted with 9-phenyl-9-borafluorene to furnish the oxygen bridged diborane whereas only one of the N H bonds in aniline reacted. Phenylphosphine coordinated to the boron center to give an adduct that did not react further. The results were compared to the corresponding reactions with the same substrates and pentaphenylborole.
