Homogeneous CO hydrogenation: dihydrogen activation involves a frustrated Lewis pair instead of a platinum complex.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During a search for conditions appropriate for Pt-catalyzed CO reduction using dihydrogen directly, metal-free conditions were discovered instead. A bulky, strong phosphazene base forms a "frustrated" Lewis pair (FLP) with a trialkylborane in the secondary coordination sphere of a rhenium carbonyl. Treatment of the FLP with dihydrogen cleanly affords multiple hydride transfers and C-C bond formation.

The "frustrated Lewis pair" 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene/B(C6F5)3 reversibly activates dihydrogen; it serves as an active catalyst for the hydrogenation of silyl enol ethers under mild reaction conditions.

متن کاملMetal-Free Dihydrogen Oxidation by a Borenium Cation: A Combined Electrochemical/Frustrated Lewis Pair Approach**
In order to use H2 as a clean source of electricity, prohibitively rare and expensive precious metal electrocatalysts, such as Pt, are often used to overcome the large oxidative voltage required to convert H2 into 2 H(+) and 2 e(-). Herein, we report a metal-free approach to catalyze the oxidation of H2 by combining the ability of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to heterolytically cleave H2 with ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous platinum-catalyzed hydrogenation of dialkyl(diolefin)platinum(II) complexes: A new route to platinum surface alkyls.
Platinum metal catalyzes the reduction of dialkyl(diolefin)platinum(II) complexes by dihydrogen to alkanes and platinum(0). The reaction involves adsorption of the platinum(II) complex on the platinum(0) catalyst surface with conversion of the alkyl moieties to platinum surface alkyls; these appear as alkane products. The platinum atom originally present in the soluble organoplatinum species be...

Herein we report the metal-free diastereoselective frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-catalyzed hydrogenation of azaMorita−Baylis−Hillman (aza-MBH) adducts, accessing a diverse range of stereodefined β-amino acid derivatives in excellent isolated yields (28 examples, 89% average yield, up to 90:10 d.r.). Furthermore, sequential organo-FLP catalysis has been developed. An initial organocatalyzed aza-MB...
