Question

A compound X, of boron reacts with NH3 on heating to give another compound Y which is called inorganic benzene. The compound X can be prepared by treating BF3 with lithium aluminium hydride. The compounds X and Y are represented by the formulas

Difficult
Solution

Reaction of Diborane with NH3:

Case-I

Case-II

{B_2}{H_6} + \mathop {N{H_3}}\limits_{Excess} \xrightarrow{{High\,\,temperature}}\mathop {{{\left( {BN} \right)}_n}}\limits_{Boron\,\,nitride}

Case-III

\mathop {3{B_2}{H_6} + 6N{H_3}}\limits_{\boxed{1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2}} \xrightarrow{{High\,\,temperature}}\mathop {{{\left( {BN} \right)}_n}}\limits_{Boron\,\,nitride}

4B{F_3} + 3LiAl{H_4}\xrightarrow{{Diethyl\,\,ether}}\mathop {2{B_2}{H_6}}\limits_X + 3LiF + 3Al{F_3}
