  • Title: Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-Catalyzed Reactions Using Silanes.
    Author: Hackel T, McGrath NA.
    Journal: Molecules; 2019 Jan 25; 24(3):. PubMed ID: 30691072.
    Abstract:
    The utility of an electron-deficient, air stable, and commercially available Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane has recently been comprehensively explored. While being as reactive as its distant cousin boron trichloride, it has been shown to be much more stable and capable of catalyzing a variety of powerful transformations, even in the presence of water. The focus of this review will be to highlight those catalytic reactions that utilize a silane as a stoichiometric reductant in conjunction with tris(pentafluorophenyl) borane in the reduction of alcohols, carbonyls, or carbonyl-like derivatives.
