$MeNH_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Diborane $(B_2H_6)$ undergoes symmetrical cleavage with Lewis bases like $T.H.F.$,$Me_3N$,and $C_5H_5N$ to form adducts of the type $BH_3 \cdot L$. However,with small,highly basic amines like $MeNH_2$ or $NH_3$,it undergoes unsymmetrical cleavage to form ionic species of the type $[BH_2(L)_2]^+ [BH_4]^-$. Therefore,$MeNH_2$ causes unsymmetrical cleavage.

Which base among the following reacts with diborane to cleave it unsymmetrically?
