An efficient and mild reaction protocol for the decarbonylation of isocyanates has been developed using catalytic amounts of Lewis acidic boranes. Detailed DFT studies were undertaken to account for the formation of the mono/di-carboxamidation products and benzoxazolone compounds. The dataset includes compound characterisation data for the compounds synthesised in this work.
Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202201422
