The activation and functionalization of carbon- fluorine bonds represent a significant synthetic challenge, given the high thermodynamic barrier to C-F bond cleavage. Stoichiometric hydridoborane-mediated C-F functionalization has recently emerged, but is yet to be rendered catalytic. Herein, the borane-catalyzed coupling of alkyl fluorides with arenes (carbon-carbon bond formation) and carboxylic acids (carbon-oxygen bond formation) has been developed using transborylation reactions to achieve catalytic turnover. Successful C-C and C-O coupling across a variety of structurally and electronically differentiated arenes and carboxylic acids was achieved using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (H-B-9-BBN) as the catalyst and pinacolborane (HBpin), with broad functional group tolerance. Experimental and computational studies suggest a mechanistic dichotomy for the carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen coupling reactions. B-F transborylation (B-F/B-H metathesis) between F-B-9-BBN and HBpin enabled catalytic turnover for carbon-carbon bond formation, whereas direct exchange between the alkyl fluoride and acyloxyboronic ester (C-F/B-O metathesis) was proposed for carbon-oxygen coupling, where H-B-9-BBN catalyzed the dehydrocoupling of the carboxylic acid with HBpin.

For the first time, by using H3PO3/I2 system, various benzyl chlorides, bromides and iodides were dehalogenated successfully. In the presence of H3PO3, benzyl halides underwent electrophilic substitution reactions with electron-rich arenes, leading to a broad range of diarylmethanes in good yields. These transformations feature green, cheap reducing reagents and metal-free conditions. A possible mechanism was proposed.
Carbonyl and olefin hydrosilylation mediated by an air-stable phosphorus(iii) dication under mild conditions

The readily-accessible, air-stable Lewis acid [(terpy)PPh][B(C6F5)4]21 is shown to mediate the hydrosilylation of aldehydes, ketones, and olefins. The utility and mechanism of these hydrosilylations are considered.
