Synthesis and crystal structures of boryl ortho-silylaryl trifluoromethanesulfonates

• We report the synthesis and structural characterization of three crystalline borylated ortho-silylaryl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonates: 5-(4,4,5,5-tetra­methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(tri­methyl­sil­yl)phenyl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C16H24BF3O5SSi (1a), 4-(4,4,5,5-tetra­methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(tri­methyl­sil­yl)phenyl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C16H24BF3O5SSi (1b), and 2-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetra­methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-6-(tri­methyl­silyl)phen­yl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C17H26BF3O5SSi (2), which are versatile aryne precursors. For all three compounds, the heteroatom substituents are almost coplanar with the central aromatic moiety. C—heteroatom bonding metrics are unexceptional and fall withing the typical range of C—B, C—Si, and C—O single bonds. Despite numerous electronegative sites, only weak inter­molecular inter­actions are observed in the solid state.
