Reversible C−H activation, facile C−B/B−H metathesis and apparent hydroboration catalysis by a dimethylxanthene‐based frustrated Lewis pair

<p>A dimethylxanthene‐based phosphine/borane frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) is shown to effect reversible C−H activation, cleaving phenylacetylene, PhCCH, to give an equilibrium mixture of the free FLP and phosphonium acetylide in CD<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solution at r...
