A series of unsymmetrical difluoroboron(BF 2 ) complexes with pyridine and imidazoline were synthesized by reaction of new chelating ligands (arylmethyl-imidazolidinylidene)-pyridin-2-ylamine with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. All the ligands and BF 2 complexes were structurally characterized

Abstract
The photocycloaddition of some difluoro[(methylamino‐κN)alkenonato‐κO]boron complexes 1 with arylalkenes 2 is discussed. The resulting [2+2] photoaddition gave the cyclobutane and azetidine derivatives (Schemes 1, 3, and 5). Rearrangements of the cyclobutane gave 1,5‐diketones derivatives (Schemes 2, 4, and 5). The yields of the photoadducts were governed by the reduction and oxidation potentials. Furthermore, the configurations of the products established high regio‐ and stereoselectivity, suggesting the presence of a singlet exciplex. The reactivity and the stereochemistry were rationalized by means of FMO (frontier molecular orbital) calculations.
