A solution of (S)-(-)-α,α-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (3.95 mmol, 1.00 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF; 10 ml) was added slowly (20 min) to a stirred solution of BH3—THF (10.3 ml, 1.0 M, 10.3 mmol) at ambient temperature. The colourless mixture was stirred overnight at 298 K and concentrated under vacuum leaving a white powder, which was then heated gradually from 313 K to 403–408 K in an oil bath for 45 min. After dissolving the white solid residue in dry THF (15 ml) and cooling the mixture to 195 K, a solution of n-BuLi (1.56 ml, 2.85 M in hexane, 4.46 mmol) was added dropwise. The blue mixture was stirred overnight at 298 K. After a mild acid hydrolysis with solid ammonium chloride at 273 K for 3 h, the solid was removed using a Schlenk filter and the filtered solution was concentrated under vacuum. The white solid was heated in an oven at 453 K and 0.8 m mH g (1 mm H g = 133.322 Pa) and then the solid in the distillation flask was partially dissolved in dry CH2Cl2. After evaporation of the solvent, a colourless powder with a hard crystalline material appropriate for X-ray diffraction study was obtained.
Compound (II) is chiral, but its absolute configuration could not be determined because of a lack of heavier atoms in the molecule. Friedel pairs were merged before the final refinement. However, the absolute configurations of atoms C4 and C9 can be assigned as (S), based on the (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol used as a starting material. The H atom on N was located from a difference map, fixed at an N—H distance of 0.89 Å, refined and then fixed. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å and B—H distances of 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(B). Pease check added text.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. Mean-plane data from final SHELXL refinement run:- |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Oxazaborolidines derived from chiral β-amino alcohols are regarded as important catalysts for the enantioselective reduction of C═O and C═N bonds (Corey & Helal, 1998; Deloux & Srebnik, 1993; Singh, 1992; Puigjaner et al., 1999), and for other enantioselective organic transformations (Wallbaum & Martens, 1992; Joshi et al., 1989). The 1,3,2-oxazaborolidine derived from the (S)-α,α-diphenyl prolinol, (Scheme), known as the Corey, Bakshi and Shibata (CBS) catalyst, (I), is the most efficient for the reduction of aromatic ketones (Corey et al., 1987; Mathre et al., 1991). The CBS reagent is reported to be extremely sensitive to air and moisture and difficult to purify. Therefore, it is usually prepared in situ, without characterization, and used as reagent or catalyst in many enantioselective transformations (Corey & Helal, 1998; Deloux & Srebnik, 1993; Singh, 1992; Yadav et al., 2000; Garrett et al., 2002). Pure CBS oxazaborolidine was isolated and characterized by Corey and co-workers (Corey et al., 1987), who prepared the reagent by refluxing the corresponding chiral amino alcohol with an excess of borane-tetrahydrofuran (thf) complex under a closed argon-borane atmosphere system. However, the 11B NMR and FT—IR spectroscopic analyses indicated the presence of an additional unidentified dimeric species [δTHF(0.17 M) +7.6 p.p.m., d, JBH = 130 Hz, νBH,thf(0.1 M) 2413 cm−1]. On the other hand, Mathre and co-workers (Mathre et al., 1993) have attempted to prepare the CBS reagent by the same method without success. Moreover, they did not observe the dimer reported by Corey and co-workers, but instead proposed a different dimeric complex, (II). In addition, further dimeric forms or aggregates for different oxazaborolidines have been obtained (Lang et al., 1997) and studied by quantum molecular modelling calculations (Nevalainen, 1994). Thus, further experimental study is needed to corroborate the structure of the possible dimeric forms of the CBS reagent to establish the true nature of the catalyst. In our effort to prepare the CBS reagent for a subsequent reaction, we isolated a remarkably stable crystalline sample, m.p. 477–483 K, which was identified by 11B NMR (δ, CDCl3, 10.5 and −14.4 p.p.m) and FT—IR (νBH 2321 cm−1) as complex (II) (Mathre et al., 1993). The structure of this complex has now been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure shows very interesting features and is presented in this paper. \sch
The bond lengths in the oxazaborolidine rings of (II) (Table 1) are mostly in accord with interatomic distances in similar compounds. However, the B—N distances are shorter than expected. The B1—N1 distance [1.590 (4) Å] is the second shortest reported B—N distance in structurally characterized oxazaborolidines. The only shorter one [1.486 or 1.489 Å] was reported for (S)-diphenylprolinolmethylborolidine-borane (Corey et al., 1992; Mathre et al., 1993). This is also the only oxazaborolidine-containing N-boryl group, and thus it is suitable for comparison with the title compound, (II). Oxazaborolidines with H instead of a boryl group have significantly longer B—N distances [1.626–1.660 Å; Rettig & Trotter, 1977; Mathre et al., 1991). The B1—N2 distance in (II) [1.636 (4) Å] fits into this range well.
On the other hand, B—NH distances from all three known structures are shorter than the B—N distances for compounds with monosubstituted N in nonconjugated oxazaborolidine rings, which span the range of 1.643–1.693 Å (Trujillo et al., 1998; Hopfl et al., 1997, 1998; Rico et al., 1999). If no substituent is located on the N, typical B—N distances are longer [1.607–1.658 Å; Low et al., 2000; Trujillo et al., 1998; Rettig & Trotter, 1973, 1974, 1976; Hopfl et al., 1997; Cynkier & Hope, 1978; Gravelle & Bott, 1995; Cox & Wardell, 2002). If two are present, the range is 1.670–1.744 Å (Rettig & Trotter, 1983; Huskens et al., 1998; Hopfl et al., 1997, 1998; Ebeling et al., 1989; Short & Masamune, 1989).
The B—O distance in oxazaborolidine seems to be less sensitive to the character of the N or B in the ring. Typical B—O distances span the range of 1.450–1.547 Å, with the exception of (S)-diphenylprolinolmethylborilidine-borane [1.349 or 1.335 Å; Corey et al., 1992; Mathre et al., 1993]. Both B—O distances in (II) are identical to within the s.u. [1.433 (3) and 1.436 (3) Å] and apparently not affected by the different N environment. The N—B—O angles seem to be sensitive to the oxazaborolidine substituents. While compounds with a nonconjugated oxazaborilidine ring have N—B—O angles in the range 95.9–100.7° and do not show dependence on N nor on B substituents, pyrrolooxazaboroles with H on N show smaller N—B—O angles [98.5–99.8°] than (S)-diphenylprolinolmethylborilidine-borane [110.3 or 111.3°]. Values for the N—B—O angles of (II) are not sensitive towards N substituents [102.41 (19) and 104.25 (19)°] and are similar to those found in other oxazaborilidine dimers (Lang et al., 1997; Kim et al., 1999; Chi et al., 1999, 2001). The observed B2—N1 distance of 1.618 (3) Å falls into the range of typical B—N distances [1.591–1.649 Å].
Both oxazaborolidine rings in (II) are distorted from planarity, as expected, and form a dihedral angle of 87.81 (12)°. Molecules of (II) do not show any intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The closest intermolecular contacts were found between H atoms (2.23–2.47 Å). The closest contacts between H and non-H atoms were found in the range 2.84–2.99 Å.
