Diborane

Question

Diborane does not undergo cleavage reaction with

Easy

A

Trimethyl amine
B

Ammonia
C

CO
D

CO₂

Solution

${B_2}{H_6} + 2N{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\xrightarrow{{}}\mathop {2{H_3}B.N{{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)}_3}}\limits_{Adduct}$

$B_{2} H_{6} + 2 CO \to \underset{Boryne Carbonyl}{2 [H_{3} B . CO]}$
Diborane undergoes cleavage reaction CO,NH₃,N(CH₃)₃to form addition compounds. The addition product formation is due to dative bond formation with CO,NH₃,N(CH₃)₃.
CO₂ do not form dative bond and hence it cannot cleaves the diborane.
