In the title compound, C14H12O2, the cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation, while the remaining fragment of the anthraquinone skeleton is planar.
organic compounds
The title compound, C22H26BNO3, is the first example of a boron-containing enaminone to be characterized by X-ray diffraction. The B atom lies in a three-coordinate environment and shows no additional intra- or intermolecular interactions. The 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl group is roughly coplanar with the adjacent aromatic ring, as expected if considerable dative bonding is occurring between the aromatic p-π electrons and the empty p-orbital on the B atom.
