The various applications of hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, D, and tritium, T) in the physical
and life sciences demand a range of methods for their installation in an array of molecular …

This article is focused on recent developments in main group mediated hydrogenation
chemistry and catalysis using “frustrated Lewis pairs”(FLPs). The broading range of …

Halogenated triarylboranes (BAr3) have been known for decades, however it has only been
since the surge of interest in main group catalysis that their application as strong Lewis acid …

A series of ketones and aldehydes are reduced in toluene under H2 in the presence of 5
mol% B (C6F5) 3 and either cyclodextrin or molecular sieves affording a facile metal‐free …

An acceptorless dehydrogenation of heterocycles catalyzed by frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs)
was developed. Oxidation with concomitant liberation of molecular hydrogen proceeded in …

Conspectus The activation of molecular hydrogen by main-group element catalysts is an
extremely important approach to metal-free hydrogenations. These so-called frustrated …

In this paper, we report on the development of a bench-stable borane for frustrated Lewis
pair catalyzed reduction of aldehydes, ketones, and enones. The deliberate fine-tuning of …

C–H borylation is a powerful and atom-efficient method for converting affordable and
abundant chemicals into versatile organic reagents used in the production of fine chemicals …

The outstanding capability of Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) catalysts to activate small
molecules has gained significant attention in recent times. Reactivity of FLP is further …

The coexistence of a strong Lewis acid and a Lewis base in solution, the so called frustrated
Lewis pair, has led to the discovery of metal-free hydrogen activation. Since then, this …
