How to prepare borazine from benzene

Answer 1

Due to its similarities to benzene, there have been a number of computational and experimental analyses of borazine's aromaticity. The number of pi electrons in borazine obeys the ...

Chemical formula: B3H6N3

Melting point: −58 °C (−72 °F; 215 K)

Boiling point: 53 °C (127 °F; 326 K) (55 °C at 105 Pa)

Answer 2

Borazine preparation reaction is as follows :

3NH₄Cl +3BCl₃======> H₃N₃B₃Cl₃ + 9HCl

                                     

H₃N₃B₃Cl₃ + 3LiBH₄ =======>H₃B₃N₃H₃ +3LiCL +3THFBH₃

These are the two step reactions necessary for preparation of borazine .

Boron chloride and ammonium chloride are required and chlorobenzene acts as a catalyst.
