Bis(pinacolato)diboron is a boron containing two pinacolato ligands. With the formula [(CH3)4C2O2B]2, it is a colourless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a commercially available reagent for making pinacol boronic esters for organic synthesis.

Preparation and structure

This compound may be prepared by reacting tetrakis(dimethylamino)diboron with pinacol in acidic conditions.[1] The B-B bond distance is 1.711(6) Å.[2]

Reactions

The B-B bond adds across alkenes and alkynes to give the 1,2-diborylated alkane and alkenes. In the presence of organorhodium complexes, it can be installed onto saturated hydrocarbons:[3]

CH3(CH2)6CH3 + [(CH3)4C2O2B]2 → (CH3)4C2O2BH + (CH3)CH2(CH2)5CH36C2O2
