Usage

General Description

Chlorobis(pentafluorophenyl)borane is a chemical compound which falls under the category of boranes. The molecular formula for this compound is C12BClF10. It is frequently used as a catalyst in the field of organic synthesis and chemical research, for various processes such as coupling and cyclization reactions. Due to the presence of the chloro group, it can function as a Lewis acid. It appears in the form of a pale yellow liquid which is moisture sensitive. It needs to be kept away from open flames and heat due to its flammability. Moreover, it should be handled under controlled conditions to prevent exposure which can cause skin and eye irritations.

Metal-Free Acetylene Coupling by the (C6F5)2B?X 1,2-Halogenoboration Reaction

(C6F5)2B-halides were conveniently prepared by treatment of (C6F5)2BH with tritylchloride or -bromide, respectively. With cyclopropylacetylene, (C6F5)2BBr underwent sequential cis-1,2-halogenoboration followed by 1,2-carboboration to give the 4-bromo-2,4-dicyclopropylbutadienyl-B(C6F5)2 product. It reacted further with additional cyclopropylacetylene to give the linear triene and tetraene products in a metal-free alkyne oligomerization reaction. The pyridine adduct of the initial diene product was characterized by X-ray diffraction. (C6F5)2BCl reacted analogously. Similar (C6F5)2BX induced oligomerization reactions were carried out with two conjugated enynes.

Bis(pentafluorophenyl)phenothiazylborane-an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair catalyst for stannane dehydrocoupling

We synthesized a novel Lewis acidic aminoborane containing a phenothiazyl substituent and demonstrated its potential to catalytically promote the dehydrocoupling of tin hydrides. The observed reactivity would imply a homolytic frustrated Lewis pair type mechanism, however computational analysis suggests a heterolytic mechanism for this reaction. This result represents one of the first frustrated Lewis pair systems to dehydrocouple stannanes in a heterolytic fashion.
