Dimethyl-ammonium bis-(3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxyl-ato)borate hemihydrate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(22)H(12)BO(6) (-)·0.5H(2)O, was synthesized under atmospheric conditions in the presence of dimethyl-formamide acting as a template. The structure is composed of [NH(2)(CH(3))(2)](+) cations, bis-(3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxyl-ato)borate anions and water mol-ecules. The water molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The stabilization of the crystal structure comes from electrostatic inter-actions and is assisted by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the layers.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
