Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are derived from simple combinations of Lewis acids (electron acceptors) and Lewis bases (electron donors), in which steric demands prevent from forming classical Lewis acid-base adducts. Since 2006, FLP chemistry has emerged as a novel strategy for the design and application of main-group chemistry and development of new metal-free catalytic processes. This strategy has been applied to stoichiometric reactivity and then extended to catalysis. In this review, we briefly summarize the representative discoveries and developments of FLP chemistry in the field of catalysis, including hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, reduction of CO2, transformations of alkynes to organic derivatives, C-H bond borylation and polymerization.

Wen-Xiong Zhang (right) received his B.Sc. from Hunan Normal University in 1996, his MSc from Guangxi Normal University in 1999, and his PhD from Nankai University with professor Li-Cheng Song in 2003. He carried out postdoctoral research at Peking University with Prof. Zhenfeng Xi and at Riken in Japan with Prof. Zhaomin Hou. In 2007, he joined College of Chemistry at Peking University as an Associate Professor, where he is now a Professor. His research interests include design, synthesis and small molecule activation of rare-earth-metal heterocycles, metal-catalyzed C-N bond activation, and carbodiimide-based organic synthesis to construct N-containing heterocycles.

“…57 Although ring-opening reactions of 1,4-dioxane have been reported, they are all quantitative reactions, not polymerizations. 58,59 Therefore, there is no report of polymers obtained directly from 1,4-dioxane in the literature. Polymerization using a [PA] : [CHO] : [OX] : [SnOct 2 ] ratio of 50 : 150 : 800 : 1 was carried out at 80 °C for 6 h (Table 2, entry 8).…”

“…[33][34][35][36] In 2019, the Shi group utilized the electron-withdrawing group functionalized propargylic alcohols as substrates to facilitate the cyclization under ambient conditions. [37] Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) chemistry is a booming research field in small molecule activation, [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] and structure-diverse FLPs variants involving the combination of tertiary phosphines with B, Al electrophiles were also described for CO 2 activation, capture and catalytic reduction through the synergic effect of Lewis acid-base (Scheme 1.

Pyridinylidenaminophosphines as Versatile Organocatalysts for CO₂ Transformations into Value‐Added Chemicals

The carboxylative cyclization of propargylic alcohols with CO2 was developed employing pyridinylidenaminophosphines (PYA‐Ps) as organocatalyts for the first time. Moderate to good yields of α‐methylene cyclic carbonates were obtained with excellent chemo‐ and stereo‐selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the catalytic reaction tends to proceed via the PYA‐Ps‐mediated basic ionic pair mechanism, and the intramolecular cyclization should be the rate determining step. Furthermore, the catalytic diversity of PYA‐Ps was investigated for the chemical transformations of CO2 to functionalized cyclic carbonates and N‐formylated amines.
