Catalytic B-N dehydrogenation using frustrated Lewis pairs: evidence for a chain-growth coupling mechanism

The catalytic dehydrogenation of ammonia- and amine-boranes by a dimethylxanthene-derived frustrated Lewis pair is described. Turnover is facilitated on a thermodynamic basis by the ready release of H2 from the weakly basic PPh2-containing system. In situ NMR studies and the isolation of intermediat...
