Functional-group tolerance in frustrated lewis pairs: hydrogenation of nitroolefins and acrylates

Weak Lewis acid for high nucleophilicity: Hydridoborate derived from B(2,6-F2C6H3)3 shows significant hydride character. Solid-state and solution structure analysis revealed a dihydrogen-bonded aggregate. The new frustrated Lewis pair was applied in the hydrogenation of nitroolefins and acrylates (see scheme; EWG=electron- withdrawing group). The decreased Lewis acidity provides higher reactivity and functional-group tolerance. Copyright

Preparation of β-phenylnitroethanes having electron-donating aryl substitution

β-Phenyl-β-hydroxynitroethanes having activating aryl substituents are treated with triethylsilane/trifluoroacetic acid under solventless conditions to give the corresponding phenylnitroethanes. Substrates having no aryl substituents or substituents that

SILICA GEL-ASSISTED REDUCTION OF NITROSTYRENES TO 2-ARYL-1-NITROALKANES WITH SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE

Reduction of a variety of nitrostyrenes with sodium borohydride in the presence of silica gel in a mixture of chloroform and 2-propanol furnished the corresponding nitroalkanes free of dimers in near quantitative yields.
