Part I: Compounds of the type benzo(group VI)azole (I) were treated with diborane using standard vacuum line techniques. The group VI elements were oxygen. sulfur. and selenium. Initially. an insoluble borane adduct formed which spontaneously reduced and replaced carbon in the hetero-ring by boron via an unstable intermediate either (II) or (III). For example. benzoxazole reacted to produce 2-H-3-methyl-l.3.2- benzoxazaborole (IV). The 2-H-3-alkyl-l,3.2-benzo(group VI)azaboroles (V) were easily purified. produced in high yield, and upon methanolysis yielded N-alkyl-2-(group VI)anilines (VI). These boroles were characterized by IR, H-l and B-ll NMR spectra, and mass spectroscopy. Part II: Kinetics of the polymerization of imidazole-borane in the presence of diborane was followed by monitoring hydrogen production at 30°C. Pseudo first-order kinetics was observed at all ratios of diborane to irnidazole-borane, and the observed rate constant increased linearly with excess diborane. A mechanism is proposed in which the diborane acts as a catalyst. Half the hydrogen molecule comes from the diborane, while the other half comes from the nitrogen-bonded hydrogen on imidazole-borane. Hydrogen is formed when diborane reacts with imidazole-borane in a slow step. followed by fast coupling with another imidazole-borane and regeneration of diborane. The structure of the polymer is shown below (VII). and the average size of the polyme1 was 32-38 units.

The use of boron-containing amines for the amino alkylation of amides has been investigated in our laboratories with the aim of preparing compounds which could be used in neutron capture therapy. The purpose of this procedure is to achieve selective irradiation of a neoplactic growth by inducing radioactivity throughout that tissue. Although the results obtained in destroying tumors have not always been encouraging, they have been such - especially in cases not amenable to treatment by surgery or chemotherapy - that further research is warranted in order to develop drugs that can be used effectively in neutron capture therapy (Farr, Robertson & Stickley, 1954). This method of cancer treatment is still in the experimental stages of development, but it will, no doubt, gain the active interest of more clinical workers in the near future.

Thesis advisor: James P. Morken / This thesis will describe the development of two transition metal catalyzed syntheses of organoboronic compounds. The first section describes relevant concepts and precedents for the conjunctive coupling reaction. In the second section of this thesis, nickel catalyzed conjunctive coupling reaction of carboxylic acid derivatives with 9-BBN derived ate complexes will be discussed, where beta-trialkylboryl ketones are obtained as the product. In the third section, the development of alkyl group migration in nickel-catalyzed conjunctive coupling with C(sp3) electrophiles will be discussed. Enantioenriched secondary boronic esters can be prepared from this reaction, and two alkaloid syntheses are disclosed as the application of the method. / Thesis (MS) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.
