This work details the synthesis and characterization of low-coordinate Zn(II)-based organocations [(NHC)Zn(R)] incorporating extremely bulky NHCs [ITr] and [IAd] ([ITr] = ([ITr] = [(HCNCPh)C:]; [IAd] = [(HCNAd)C:], Ad = adamantyl)). Their structural features and particularities are thoroughly assessed as well as their air and water tolerance. Neutral ITr and IAd adducts [(ITr)Zn(R)] (1, R = Me; 2, R = Et) and [(IAd)Zn(R)] (3, R = Me; 4, R = Et) were synthesized by reaction of carbene [ITr] or [IAd] with a stoichiometric amount of [ZnR] and isolated in good yields.

Context: Organic halides stand as invaluable reagents with diverse applications in synthetic chemistry and various industrial processes. Despite their utility, concerns arise due to their inherent toxicity. Addressing these apprehensions, hydro-dehalogenation has emerged as a promising strategy involving the replacement of halogen atoms with hydrogen atoms to transform toxic organic halides into hydrocarbons.

Organogermacycles are important skeletons for medicinal chemistry and materials. Herein, we reported a B(CF) mediated domino hydrogermylation reaction of enones with dihydrogermanes, affording 21 variants of organogermacycle compounds. These germacyclic compounds were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 99% yield) under mild reaction conditions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFrustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) comprising of B(CF) (BCF) and 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine (TPPy), P(-Tol) or tetrahydrothiophene (THT) have been shown to mediate selective C-F activation in both geminal and chemically equivalent distal C-F sites. In comparison to other reported attempts of C-F activation using BCF, these reactions appear surprisingly facile. We investigate this reaction through a combination of experimental and computational chemistry to understand the mechanism of the initial C-F activation event and the origin of the selectivity that prevents subsequent C-F activation in the monoactivated salts.

Selective defunctionalization of synthetic intermediates is a valuable approach in organic synthesis. Here, we present a theoretical study on the recently developed B(CF)/hydrosilane-mediated reductive deamination reaction of primary amines. Our computational results provide important insights into the reaction mechanism, including the active intermediate, the competing reactions of the active intermediate, the role of excess hydrosilane, and the origin of chemoselectivity.
