Novel H2 activation by a tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane frustrated Lewis pair.

چکیده
Tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane (1, BArF(18)), has been synthesised on a practical scale for the first time. According to the Gutmann-Beckett method it is a more powerful Lewis acid than B(C(6)F(5))(3). It forms a 'frustrated Lewis pair' with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine which cleaves H(2) to form a salt containing the novel anion [μ-H(BArF(18))(2)](-).

Exploring structural and electronic effects in three isomers of tris{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}borane: towards the combined electrochemical-frustrated Lewis pair activation of H2.
Three structural isomers of tris{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}borane have been studied as the acidic component of frustrated Lewis pairs. While the 3,5-substituted isomer is already known to heterolytically cleave H2 to generate a bridging-hydride; ortho-substituents in the 2,4- and 2,5-isomers quench such reactivity through electron donation into the vacant boron pz orbital and steric blocking o...
متن کاملConformational studies on heteroleptic trifluoromethyl-substituted phenylboranes.
Organoboranes carrying electron-withdrawing substituents are commonly used as Lewis acidic catalysts or cocatalysts in a variety of organic processes. These Lewis acids also became popular through their application in `frustrated Lewis pairs', i.e. combinations of Lewis acids and bases that are unable to fully neutralize each other due to steric or electronic effects. We have determined the cry...
متن کاملNovel B(Ar')2(Ar'') hetero-tri(aryl)boranes: a systematic study of Lewis acidity.
A series of homo- and hetero-tri(aryl)boranes incorporating pentafluorophenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, and pentachlorophenyl groups, four of which are novel species, have been studied as the acidic component of frustrated Lewis pairs for the heterolytic cleavage of H2. Under mild conditions eight of these will cleave H2; the rate of cleavage depending on both the electrophilicity of the...

The 1 : 1 mixture of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine and tris(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borane behaves as frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) and shows H(2) and sequential two-step double CO(2) activation with subsequent Me(3)Si group transfer.
متن کاملBoron Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Hydroboration of Alkenes with Pinacolborane: BArF3 Does What B(C6 F5 )3 Cannot Do!
The transition-metal-free hydroboration of various alkenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) initiated by tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane (BArF3 ) is reported. The choice of the boron Lewis acid is crucial as the more prominent boron Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6 F5 )3 ) is reluctant to react. Unlike B(C6 F5 )3 , BArF3 is found to engage in substituent redistribution with H...
