Borazine, also known as borazole, is an inorganic aromatic compound with the formula B3N3H6. It has a planar ring structure that is isoelectronic and similar to benzene, which is why it is referred to as inorganic benzene. The B-N bonds in borazine have partial double bond character due to polarization from the difference in electronegativity between boron and nitrogen. Borazine can be prepared through the reaction of diborane with ammonia or by heating a mixture of lithium borohydride and ammonium chloride. It is a colorless volatile liquid that undergoes addition and hydrolysis reactions.

BORAZINE
NAME:- POOJA S. NAIK
CLASS:- MSC PART 1 Borazine or Borazole. B3N3H6
BORAZINE BENZENE Borazine is Isoelectronic with Benzene and hence called as INORGANIC BENZENE. Structure of Borazine.
• Borazine is isoelectronic with Benzene and hence its
structure is the same as that of benzene. • Like benzene, borazine has a planar 6 membered ring, in which B and N atoms are arranged alternately. • Because of the similarity between the structures of borazine abd benzene that borazine is called as Inorganic Benzene. • In borazine both B amd N atom are sp2 hybridised. • Each N-atom has one lone pair of electrons, while each B- atom has an empty p orbital. • (B-N) pi bond In borazine is a Dative Bond, which arises from the sidewise overlap between the filled p-orbitals of N-atom and empty p-orbitals of B atom. • Since borazine is isoelectronic with Benzene, both the components have aromatic pi electron cloud. • Due to greater difference in electronegativity values of B and N atoms,the pi electron cloud in B3N3 ring of borazine molecule is partially delocalised. • While incase of benzene ring, the pi electron cloud is completely delocalised. • It is indicated that pi electron drift from N to B is less than the pi electron drift from B to N, due to greater electronegativity of N- atom. • In benzen molecule, C=C bonds are nonpolar, while in case of Borazine, due to the difference in electronegativity between N and B atom, B-N bond is polar. • It is due to the partial delocalisation of pi electron cloud that pi- bonding in borazine ring is weakened. PREPARATION 1. Stock and Pohlands Method:-
By the action of NH3 on diborane(B2H6) the adduct
B2H6.2NH3 is first formed which gets decomposed by heating in a closed tube at 200degree celsius.
B2H6 + 6 NH3----- 3[B2H6.NH3]----- 2B2N3H6 + 12H2
This method gives low yield because of simultaneous formation
of solid polymeric by products. 2. Heating BCl3 with NH4Cl
3NH4Cl + 3BCl3 140°C C6H5Cl, Fe. Cl3B3N3H3 + 9HCl
3Cl3B3N3H3 + 6LiBH4 [H] 2B2N3H6 + 6LiCl+ 3B2H6
Heating BCl3 with NH4Cl in chlorobenzene(as a catalyst) at about
140°C B,B,B-trichlorobenzene is formed. This derivative being reduced with LiBH4 in polyether, gives borazine 3. By heating a mixture of LiBH4 with NH4Cl
Borazine can be prepared in the laboratory by heating a mixture of
LiBH4 & NH4Cl in vacuum at 230°c
3NH4Cl + 3LiBH4 230°c B3N3H6 + LiCl+ 9H2
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
• Colourless • Volatile liquid • Boiling point. 64.5°C • Decomposes at -80°C • Molecular weight 78g CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
1. Addition Reaction
one molecule of borazine adds 3 molecules of HCl or HBr In
the cold without a catalyst. These molecules gets attached with all the B atoms of borazine, since B atom is more electronegative than the N atom in B-N bond and hydrogen chloride derivative is obtained. This addition Reaction is not shown in benzene. • 2. Hydrolysis reaction
Borazine gets slowly hydrolysed by water to produce boric acid, ammonia
and hydrogen. Hydrolysis is favoured by the increase in temperature. 3. Formation of adduct
Borazine forms an adduct with CH3OH. This adduct undergoes pyrolysis
with the elimination of H2 and gives B-trimethoxy borazine. 4. Reaction with Aniline
Borazine Undergoes a strongly exothermic
reaction with aniline to produce tri-aminoborine REFERENCES
