title: A 2-alkyl substituted 2,3,1-benzodiazaborine.
abstract: The structure of the fourth member of a family of structurally related 2,3,1-benzodiheteroborines has been solved by crystallographic means, providing data for proper direct comparison with the others. The title compound, 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3,1-benzodiazaborine (C8H9BN2O) is obtained via condensation of 2-formylbenzeneboronic acid and methylhydrazine, and is similar in most respects to its 2-unsubstituted parent, in internal geometry and intramolecular association topography, but has some subtle oxazaborine-like characteristics.
