Give two methods of preparation of diborane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1)Diborane can be prepared by treating boron trifluoride with `LiAlH_4` in diethyl ether.
`4BF_3 + 3LiAlH_4 to 2B_2H_6 + 3LiF + 3AlF_3`
(2)In the laboratory it is conveniently prepared by the oxidation of sodium borohydride with iodine.
`2NaBH_4 + I_2 to B_2H_6 + 2NaI + H_2`
(3)On large scale it is prepared by reaction of `BF_3` with sodium hydride.
`2BF_3 + 6NaH overset"450 K"to B_2H_6 + 6NaF`.
