Abstract:The concept of Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has proved to be a general principle for the activation and reactivity of small molecules. In this review, we focus on the chemistry...
An efficient FLP-mediated cycloisomerization is described, providing easy access to quinolinium and chromenylium derivatives by treatment of readily available propargylanilines and aryl propargyl ethers with Lewis acidic boranes, respectively. The reaction proceeds via a 6-endo-dig cyclization/dehydrogenation sequence. The heteroatom functions serve as Lewis bases in combination with Lewis acidic boranes to effect synergistic activation of an alkynyl triple bond and a C−H bond.

The heteroleptic complex [(Me4TACD)Zn–ZnCp*]+ (Me4TACD = N,N′,N′′,N′′′-1,4,7,10-tetramethylcyclododecane) reacts with activated C–H bonds to give the corresponding hydrocarbyl zinc(ii) complex [(Me4TACD)ZnR]+ (R = CH2CN, CCPh).
The frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) adducts PB{ECl2} (PB = iPr2P(C6H4)BCy2; Cy = cyclohexyl; E = Si, Ge) were used to access a bis(alkynyl)-functionalized silylene and a germylene; the goal behind...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
