A novel class of tricoordinate dioxaborinane compounds, which have the general formula [B₁(L_1–5)] and [B₂(L_1–5)], were designed and synthesized by the corresponding catechol-type ligands (L₁–L₅) at ambient temperature. All the new compounds were fully characterized by NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹B), FT-IR, UV–vis, LC-MS spectroscopy, and melting point analysis and microanalysis. The dioxaborinane [B₁(L_1–5)] and [B₂(L_1–5)] compounds were investigated as catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of various ketones under suitable conditions. Particularly, it was proved that the ferrocene-based dioxaborinane [B₁(L_1–5)] molecules can afford an efficient catalytic conversion compared to corresponding 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl-based [B₂(L_1–5)] dioxaborinanes in transfer hydrogenation catalytic studies.
