The chemistry of some reactive frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) is reported. This includes intramolecular P/B and N/B FLPs, some of which were used as catalysts for the hydrogenation of electron-rich olefin substrates. Some advanced intermolecular FLPs are reported, which includes systems derived from very bulky alkenyl boranes obtained from 1,1-carboboration reactions of 1-alkynes with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane. Some such systems activate dihydrogen and transfer the resulting proton/hydride pair even to some electron-poor alkynes. Eventually, we report on the reaction of our intramolecular ethylene-bridged P/B FLP with nitric oxide (NO). N,B-addition of the P-Lewis base/B-Lewis acid combination is observed to form a new type of a persistent aminoxyl radical. Some of the chemistry of the new FLP-NO radicals is presented and discussed.

The doubly Lewis-acid functionalised aniline PhN[(CH2)3B(C6F5)2]2 features two competing boron functions in fast exchange for binding to the central Lewis base. In contrast to the mono acid-functionalised PhMeN[(CH2)3B(C6F5)2], it is an active frustrated Lewis pair.

Lewis Pairs

In recent years, borane-based frustrated Lewis pairs proved to be efficient hydrogenation catalysts and became an alternative to transition metal-based systems. The hydrogen activation by classic FLPs leads to a protonated Lewis base and a borohydride. Consequently, hydrogenations catalyzed by classic FLPs consist of stepwise hydride transfer reactions and protonations (or vice versa). More recently, systems that operate via an initial hydroboration have allowed extending the substrate scope for FLP catalyzed hydrogenations. Within this review, hydrogenations of organic substrates catalyzed by borane-based frustrated Lewis pairs are discussed. Emphasis is given to the mechanistic aspects of these catalytic reactions.

The first example of a carborane with a catecholborolyl substituent, [1-Bcat-2-Ph-closo-1,2-C2B10H10] (1), has been prepared and characterized and shown to act as the Lewis acid component of an intermolecular frustrated Lewis pair in catalyzing a Michael addition. In combination with B(C6F5)3 the C-carboranylphosphine [1-PPh2-closo-1,2-C2B10H11] (IVa) is found to be comparable with PPh2(C6F5) in its ability to catalyze hydrosilylation, whilst the more strongly basic B-carboranylphosphine [9-PPh2-closo-1,7-C2B10H11] (V) is less effective and the very weakly basic species [μ-2,2ʹ-PPh-{1-(1ʹ-1ʹ,2ʹ-closo-C2B10H10)-1,2-closo-C2B10H10}] (IX) is completely ineffective. Base strengths are rank-ordered via measurement of the 1J 31P-77Se coupling constants of the phosphineselenides [1-SePPh2-closo-1,2-C2B10H11] (2), [9-SePPh2-closo-1,7-C2B10H11] (3), and [SePPh2(C6F5)] (4).
