Boron-nitrogen heterocycles have received much interest in recent years, due to their wide applications as ligands [1] and potential use in organic optical and electronic devices.[2] 1, 2-Dihydro-1, 2-azaborine compounds are six membered heterocycles and are isoelectronic to benzene, with a C= C unit replaced by a B= N unit.[3] These compounds were initially reported in the 1960’s by Dewar and White,[4] and during the last ten years, examples of substituted 1, 2-dihydro-1, 2-azaborines [1c, 5] as well as their potential in coordination chemistry were explored by Ashe et al.[6] Renewed interest in 1, 2-dihydro-1, 2-azaborine chemistry,[1c, 7] properties [8] and applications [9] led to the synthesis and isolation of parent 1, 2-dihydro-1, 2-azaborine (1), a benzene isostere, in 2009.[10]Varying analyses, including reaction calorimetry, chemical derivatization, and magnetic criteria, concluded that the aromatic character of 1 is intermediate of that between benzene and borazine, the inorganic isoelectronic relative of benzene.[6c, 10, 11] Since the synthesis of 1 in 2009, examples of the types of chemistry it performs are appearing in the literature. For example, 1 readily undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions under mild reaction conditions [12] and cationic 1, 2-azaborines have recently been synthesized by Liu and co-workers.[13] To the best of our knowledge, the photochemistry of 1, 2-dihydro-1, 2-azaborines has never been investigated.
