SUMMARY
Borazine readily undergoes addition reactions due to the inherent reactivity of boranes, which are characterized by weaker B-N and H bonds compared to O bonds. This reactivity is similar to that of diborane, known for its high flammability and explosive range. The discussion also touches on the B NMR spectrum of B4H10, where the presence of a doublet and triplet of equal intensity is noted, indicating the unique electronic environment of boron atoms in the compound.
