Question

Diborane does not undergo cleavage reaction with (A) trimethyl amine (B) CO2 (C) CO (D) ammonia

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

B2H6 forms addition product with (CH3)3N, NH3 and CO as: B2H6 + 2N(CH3)3 → [2H3B arrow N(CH3)3] B2H6 + 2NH3 → [BH2(NH3)2]+ [BH4]- B2H6 + 2CO → 2[BH3. CO]

Q. Diborane does not undergo cleavage reaction with

trimethyl amine

$C O_{2}$

$CO$

ammonia

$B_{2} H_{6}$ forms addition product with $(C H_{3})_{3} N$ , $N H_{3}$ and $CO$ as:
$B_{2} H_{6} + 2 N (C H_{3})_{3} \to [2 H_{3} B \leftarrow N (C H_{3})_{3}]$
$B_{2} H_{6} + 2 N H_{3} \to [B H_{2} (N H_{3})_{2}]^{+} [B H_{4}]^{-}$
$B_{2} H_{6} + 2 CO \to 2 [B H_{3} . CO]$
