CO scission and reductive coupling of organic carbonyls by a redox-active diboraanthracene
Jordan W. Taylor, W. Hill Harman
Abstract
with acetone results in a formal reductive deoxygenation with discrete hydroxo and 2-propenyl units bound to the boron centers. This reaction is proposed to proceed via an analogous [4+2] cycloadduct, highlighting the unique small molecule activation chemistry available to this platform.
