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.

最近，人们对一种缺电子、空气稳定且商业可得的路易斯酸三（五氟苯基）硼烷的实用性进行了全面探索。虽然它与远房表亲三氯化硼一样具有反应性，但它已被证明更加稳定，并能够催化多种强大的转化反应，甚至在存在水的情况下也是如此。本篇综述的重点将是强调那些利用硅烷作为化学计量还原剂与三（五氟苯基）硼烷一起在醇、羰基或类似羰基衍生物的还原中进行的催化反应。
