Construction of fused BN-heterocycles <i>via</i> boron atom insertion: DFT insights into the Lewis acid–base (BBr<sub>3</sub>/NEt<sub>3</sub>) cooperative mechanism and selectivity
DFT calculations indicate that the Lewis acid–base cooperation between BBr 3 and NEt 3 facilitates the formation of the nucleophilic species BBr 4 − and enables the ring-opening of N-heterocycles.
