Taking shape: The ability of a Lewis acid catalyst to distinguish between aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon moieties was accomplished by using cage-shaped borate catalysts B(OC6H3Aryl)3CH (see picture) having a π pocket derived from aryl substituents surrounding the boron center. The catalyst predominantly activated aromatic aldehydes over aliphatic ones for reaction. Copyright
