During a search for conditions appropriate for Pt-catalyzed CO reduction using dihydrogen directly, metal-free conditions were discovered instead. A bulky, strong phosphazene base forms a "frustrated" Lewis pair (FLP) with a trialkylborane in the secondary coordination sphere of a rhenium carbonyl. Treatment of the FLP with dihydrogen cleanly affords multiple hydride transfers and C-C bond formation.
在寻找使用氢气直接进行铂催化一氧化碳还原的合适条件时,反而发现了无金属条件。一种庞大的、强的磷氮杂环戊二烯基碱与三烷基硼在铼羰基的次级配位球中形成“受阻”路易斯对(FLP)。用氢气处理 FLP 可以干净地进行多次氢转移和 C-C 键形成。
