Key Points

To explore FLP reactivity beyond traditional 1,2-addition reactions, specifically focusing on deprotonation and C-O bond cleavage.
Examined the reaction of B(C6F5)3 with various olefins including alkyl, aryl, and ester derivatives.
Utilized Lewis bases in conjunction with B(C6F5)3 to analyze reaction outcomes.
Conducted experimental observations to identify key reaction pathways.
Identified successful deprotonation of olefins under FLP conditions.
Achieved noteworthy C-O bond cleavage, expanding the utility of FLP chemistry.
Demonstrated variations in reactivity profiles among different olefin classes.

Abstract

The 1,2-addition of B(C6F5)3 and Lewis bases to olefins is a classic reaction defining and extending FLP-chemistry. Herein, we show that FLP reactivity with alkyl, aryl and ester derived olefins,...
