Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, a = 15.539(4), b = 9.061(1), c = 16.707(6) Å, β = 107.19(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The measured and calculated densities are 1.19 and 1.180(1) g cm−3, respectively. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined by electron-density and full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.047 for 2503 observed reflections. The six-membered phosphazene ring is slightly, but significantly, non-planar, the conformation being that of a distorted boat. The molecule has approximate D3 symmetry. The ring P—N bonds are all equal, mean P—N = 1.588(3) Å, and the relatively short exocyclic P—N bonds, mean 1.652(4) Å, indicate the presence of exocyclic π-bonding in the molecule. The N—C bonds range from 1.417(7) to 1.471(5) with a mean of 1.45(2) Å. The mean endocyclic N—P—N and P—N—P angles are 116.7(4) and 123.0(4)°, respectively, while the exocyclic N—P—N angles average 101.5(8)°.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

Crystals of the title compound, C18H20Cl2N2O4, are monoclinic, a 14.706(1), b 17.168(1), c 7.269(1) Ǻ, β 92.72(1)°, space group P21/c with Z = 4. The structure was solved from diffractometer data by direct methods. Block-diagonal least-squares refinement converged at R 0.037, Rw 0.045 for 2103 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) which had been corrected for absorption (μ 34.0 cm-1). The asymmetric unit is comprised of two independent half-molecules, each molecule being centrosymmetric. The pyridine rings are distorted from planarity, with a maximum deviation of 0.10 Ǻ at the nitrogen atoms, as a consequence of the short intramolecular N...N contacts of 2.476(4) and 2.473(5) Ǻ.

Three 2-(hydroxyamino)alkanols have been reacted with sterically hindered arylboronic acids, ArB(OH)2. When Ar = o-tolyl, 1:2 condensates having bicyclic structures are formed but when Ar = mesityl (2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2), 1:1 condensates having six-membered cycloboronate structures result. These 1:1 condensates represent the first examples of N-unsubstituted 1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane derivatives. An X-ray analysis of one example provides unambiguous proof of the structure. Crystals of 2-mesityl-6,6-pentamethylene-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 3c, are monoclinic, a = 11.076(9), b = 23.94(2), c = 13.414(9) Å, β = 109.40(5)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.051 and Rw = 0.058 for 2037 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2).
