The chemistry of bidentate Lewis acids belongs to an unexplored field of science, and so far has been only poorly studied. This paper illustrates the design of several bidentate Al and Ti Lewis acids, and their successful application to selective organic synthesis, particularly to asymmetric synthesis. For example, a new, chiral bidentate Ti(IV) complex is successfully designed by adding commercially available Ti(OPri)4 and (S)-binaphthol sequentially to 2,2'-bis(tritylamino)-4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone in CH2Cl2, and can be utilized for simultaneous coordination to aldehyde carbonyls, thereby allowing the precise enantioface discrimination of such carbonyls for a new catalytic, practical enantioselective allylation of aldehydes with allyltributyltin. This chiral bidentate Ti(IV) catalyst exhibits uniformly high asymmetric induction as well as high chemical yields for various aldehydes. The present enantioselective allylation is highly chemoselective in the presence of other carbonyl moieties.

Oxidation with or without subsequent methylation of the pyridine of 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphine)methyl pyridine affords di- and tricationic phosphonium salts. These species are used as Lewis acid catalysts for the dimerization of 1,1-diphenylethylene, the hydrodefluorination of 1-fluoroadamantane, and the dehydrocoupling of phenol and silane.

In the last two decades, boron-based catalysis has been gaining increasing traction in the field of organic synthesis. The use of halogenated triarylboranes as main group Lewis acid catalysts is an attractive strategy. It has been applied in a growing number of transformations over the years, where they may perform comparably or even better than the gold standard catalysts. This review discusses methods of borane synthesis and cutting-edge boron-based Lewis acid catalysis, focusing especially on tris(pentafluorophenyl)-borane [B(C6F5)3], and other halogenated triarylboranes, highlighting how boron Lewis acids employed as catalysts can unlock a plethora of unprecedented chemical transformations or improve the efficiency of existing reactions.

The reactions of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with phenolic and aliphatic alcohol in various Lewis acid catalysts (namely La(NO3)3.6H2O, InCl3, ZnCl2 and BF3•OEt2) have furnished the corresponding alkyl and aryl 2,3-unsaturated glycopyranosides via Ferrier rearrangement. BF3•OEt2 showed the best Lewis acids catalysts with excellent yields and minimum reaction times. The reactions performed in CH3CN gave better yields and shorter reaction times compared to CH2Cl2. The electron withdrawing properties of aromatic ring resulting lower yields of aryl 2,3-unsaturated glycopyranosides compared to alkyl 2,3-unsaturated glycopyranosides under this condition. This study is significant in the preparation of O-glycosides via Ferrier rearrangement.

Sn-Beta zeolites, with high Sn content and smaller crystal size, hydrothermally synthesized in F−-free medium using N-cyclohexyl-N,N-dimethylcyclohexanaminium hydroxide as the structure-directing agent with the assistance of Na+ and seed, are highly active as Lewis acid catalysts.
