Good substrate gone bad! BN/CC isosterism of ethylbenzene leads to N ‐ethyl‐1,2‐azaborine and B ‐ethyl‐1,2‐azaborine. In contrast to ethylbenzene, which is the substrate for ethylbenzene dehydrogenase (EbDH), N ‐ethyl‐1,2‐azaborine (see scheme; Fc=Ferricenium tetrafluoroborate) and B ‐ethyl‐1,2‐azaborine are strong inhibitors of EbDH. Thus, the changes provided by BN/CC isosterism can lead to new biochemical reactivity.
