Carbene-9-BBN Ring Expansions as a Route to Intramolecular Frustrated Lewis Pairs for CO_2 Reduction

摘要

Reactions of phosphine-derived carbenes with 9-borabicyclo3.3.1nonane (9-BBN) result in ring-expansion reactions to generate novel intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). These FLPs effect the catalytic reduction of CO_2 in the presence of boranes to give BOB and methoxy- borate species.
