A series of novel, intramolecular Zr(IV)/P frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) based on cationic zirconocene fragments with a variety of ancillary cyclopentadienyl and 2-phosphinoaryloxide (-O(C6H4)PR2, R = tBu and 3,5-CF3-(C6H3)) ligands are reported and their activity as catalysts for the dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane (Me2NH·BH3) assessed. The FLP system [(C9H7)2ZrO(C6H4)PtBu2][B(C6F5)4] is shown to give unprecedented turnover frequencies (TOF) for a catalyst based on a group 4 metal (TOF ≥ 600 h-1), while also proving to be the most efficient FLP catalyst reported to date. The mechanism of this reaction has been probed using analogous intermolecular Zr(IV)/P FLPs, permitting deconvolution of the reactions taking place at both the Lewis acidic and basic sites. Elucidation of this mechanism revealed an interesting cooperative two-cycle process where one cycle is FLP mediated and the other, a redistribution of a linear diborazane intermediate, relies solely on the presence of a Zr(IV) Lewis acid.

The regiocontrolled functionalization of 1,3-dienes has become a powerful tool for divergent synthesis, yet it remains a long-standing challenge for aliphatic substrates. Herein, we report a reductive approach for a branch-selective 1,2-hydrovinylation of aliphatic 1,3-dienes with R-X electrophiles, which represents a new selectivity pattern for diene functionalization. Simple butadiene, aromatic 1,3-dienes, and highly conjugated polyene were also tolerated. The combination of Ni(0) and the phosphine-nitrile ligand generally resulted in >20:1 regioselectivity with the retention of the geometry of the C3-C4 double bonds. This reaction proceeds with a broad substrate scope, and it allows for the conjugation of two biologically active units to form more complex polyene molecules, such as tetraene and pentaene as well as heptaene.
Diastereoselective desymmetrization of diarylphosphinous acid-borane amides under Birch reduction

Treatment of diarylphosphinous acid-borane amides possessing chiral amido functionality with an alkali metal solution in liquid ammonia induced a preferential dearomatization of one aryl substituent at phosphorus leading to the formation of non-equimolar amounts of diastereomers. Diastereoselectivity of dearomatization depends strongly on the structure of a chiral auxiliary.
