title: Oxygen insertion into boroles as a route to 1,2-oxaborines.
abstract: The synthesis of 1,2-oxaborines is accomplished via the reaction of pentaarylboroles with N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide via a 1,1-insertion reaction. The aromatic nature of 1,2-oxaborines was evaluated by computing nuclear independent chemical shift (NICS) values. Collectively, the experimental and computational studies indicate the unsaturated central BOC4 ring has appreciable aromatic character.
