Borazocine, also known as (3Z,5Z,7Z)-azaborocine, is a chemical compound that belongs to a class of molecules called azaborocines. Azaborocines are heterocyclic compounds that contain both boron (B) and nitrogen (N) atoms in the ring structure. The prefix “aza-” indicates the presence of nitrogen in place of carbon in the ring.

The molecular formula of borazocine is C4H5BN2. It is a cyclic compound with a three-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms (N) and one boron atom (B). The three double bonds in the ring are indicated by the (3Z,5Z,7Z) configuration.

Borazocine and other azaborocines have attracted interest in the field of organic chemistry due to their unique structures and potential applications. They are used as building blocks for various organic synthesis reactions, and their incorporation into organic molecules can lead to enhanced stability, altered reactivity, and interesting electronic properties.
