Abstract
Abstract The perfluoroaryl borane B(C6F5)3 is an effective catalyst for a variety of organic transformations. In the hydrosilation of carbonyl functions, it activates the silane rather than the carbonyl substrate. In allylstannation reactions, two competing reaction pathways are observed, one involving tin cation catalysis, the other "true" borane catalysis. For B(C6F5)3, the former mechanism dominates, while for the weaker Lewis acid PhB(C6F5)2, the latter pathway is more prominent. Thus, chiral boranes of similar Lewis acid strength to PhB(C6F5)2 have the potential to mediate asymmetric allylstannation of aldehyde substrates.
Chiral boranes with similar Lewis acid strength to PhB(C6F5)2 could mediate asymmetric allylstannation of aldehyde substrates, potentially enabling asymmetric reactions.
