Bis(pinacolato)diboron is covalent compound containing two boron atoms and two pinacolato ligands. It has the formula [(CH₃)₄C₂O₂B]₂; the pinacol groups are sometimes abbreviated as "pin", so the structure is sometimes represented as B₂pin₂. 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. Unlike some other diboron compounds, B₂pin₂ is not moisture-sensitive and can be handled in air.^[1]

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 alkanes and alkenes. Using various organorhodium or organoiridium catalysts, it can also be installed onto saturated hydrocarbons:^[3]

CH₃(CH₂)₆CH₃ + [pinB]₂ → pinBH + CH₃(CH₂)₇Bpin

These reactions proceed via boryl complexes.
