Article Synopsis
- * Researchers discovered that sterically hindered triaryl-boranes can exhibit multiple Lewis acidic sites even though they have a single central atom, leading to the formation of diastereomeric structures.
- * Advanced NMR techniques and computational methods were used to experimentally confirm the existence of unique atropisomeric adducts, demonstrating a mechanism of interconversion rather than traditional conformational changes.
The development of a boron/nitrogen-centered frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) with remarkably high water tolerance is presented. As systematic steric tuning of the boron-based Lewis acid (LA) component revealed, the enhanced back-strain makes water binding increasingly reversible in the presence of relatively strong base. This advance allows the limits of FLP's hydrogenation to be expanded, as demonstrated by the FLP reductive amination of carbonyls.
