Abstract

Boron triacetate, generated in situ, reacts with various 3-(2-acyl­hydrazono)-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)butanoic acids to give 4-acetoxy-2-aryl-8-methyl-6-oxo-7-phenylhydrazono-2H,4H,6H,7H,8H-[1,3,4,2]oxa­diazaborolo[2,3-b][1,3,2]oxazaborines in good yields. These derivatives represent a class of new zwitterionic, tetrahedral boron heterocycles. X-ray single-crystal analyses of one of the starting (acylhydrazono)butanoic acids as well as of one heterocyclic boron product are reported.
