Main-Group Lewis Acids for C–F Bond Activation
TL;DR: This Perspective provides a concise overview of various cationic and neutral silicon-, boron-, and aluminum-based Lewis acids that have been identified to facilitate the heterolytic fluoride abstraction from aliphatic fluorides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic generation of borenium ions by cooperative B-H bond activation: the elusive direct electrophilic borylation of nitrogen heterocycles with pinacolborane.
TL;DR: The B-H bond of typical boranes is heterolytically split by the polar Ru-S bond of a tethered ruthenium(II) thiolate complex, affording a ruthensium( II) hydride and borenium ions with a dative interaction with the sulfur atom.
Journal ArticleDOI
C(sp3)-F bond activation of CF3-substituted anilines with catalytically generated silicon cations: spectroscopic evidence for a hydride-bridged Ru-S dimer in the catalytic cycle.
TL;DR: Heterolytic splitting of the Si-H bond mediated by a Ru-S bond forms a sulfur-stabilized silicon cation that is sufficiently electrophilic to abstract fluoride from CF(3) groups attached to selected anilines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the nature of the hydrosilane activation mediated by ruthenium(II) thiolate complexes of type [(R3P)Ru(SDmp)]+[BArF4]− is elucidated by an in-depth experimental and theoretical study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Main-Group Lewis Acids for C—F Bond Activation
TL;DR: The use of strong main-group Lewis acids has emerged as a powerful tool to selectively activate C(sp3)-F bonds in saturated fluorocarbons as mentioned in this paper, and the potential of these Lewis acids in hydrodefluorination as well as defluorinative C-F bond functionalization reactions is highlighted.
