Carbonylation of Boranes – A Computational Study
The Cover Feature shows a carbonyl trialkyl borate, R3B-CO, where three consecutive B-to-C alkyl group migrations are indicated by coloured (greenish, blue and violet) arrows, the last two being accompanied by the corresponding (blue and violet) arrows signaling the subsequent inverse (C-to-B) oxygen shift. This represents the consecutive formation of the formal acyl borane, boraepoxide and alkyl boron oxide intermediates resulting from the treatment of trialkyl boranes with carbon monoxide. The art work was designed by Pablo Espinosa Sánchez-Campillo. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. Espinosa Ferao.
