Ring Expansion, Photoisomerization, and Retrocyclization of 1,4,2-Diazaboroles

Diverse skeletal transformations of 1,4,2-diazaboroles through ring expansion, photoisomerization, and retrocyclization led to the isolation of various B, N-dihydroindole (compounds 3 and 6), 1,3-azaborolidin-2-imine (compound 7), and 1,4,2-diazaborol-3-imine derivatives (compound 11).
