aldehyde 13 to form cationic intermediate B. Subsequent hydride
transfer from 6 to B gives product 14 with reproduction of A. The
initiation step was actually confirmed by reaction of 6 with a
stoichiometric amount of Ph3C[B(C6F5)4] in CD2Cl2, which led
to the quantitative formation of subporphyrin borenium cation
tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate salt and Ph3CH (SI, Figure
S3-22). A similar reaction involving a borenium cation as a
reaction intermediate for imine hydroboration has been recently
revealed by Crudden et al.18
In summary, the subporphyrin B-hydrides 6, 8, and 10 were
prepared for the first time by the reduction of subporphyrin B-
methoxides 1, 7, and 9 with DIBAL-H and were fully
characterized. Red shifts in the Soret-like and Q-like bands and
fluorescence emission of the subporphyrin B-hydrides are
accounted for in terms of the electron-donating nature of the
B-hydride that lifts the energy level of the HOMO while leaving
other frontier orbitals almost unaffected. The hydridic nature of 6
has been demonstrated by the production of H2 from the
reaction with water or HCl as well as the reductions of aromatic
aldehydes and imines in the presence of a catalytic amount of
Ph3C[B(C6F5)4]. Study on the exploration of novel reactivities of
6 is worthy of further investigation.
