Key Points

The study aims to explore the activation of N–H and P–H bonds using a transient borylene without metal involvement.
Cooperative 1,2-addition of amines and phosphines
No metal catalysts used during the activation process
Focus on the role of borylene in bond activation
Successful activation of N–H bonds in amines
Effective activation of P–H bonds in phosphines
Demonstrated potential for applications in organic synthesis and industrial chemistry

Implication

This research reports the cooperative activation of amines and phosphines using a metal-free borylene, indicating broad applications in chemistry.

Abstract

The metal-free activation of amines and phosphines is of great significance due to its broad relevance in both organic synthesis and industrial chemistry. Herein, we report the cooperative 1,2-addition of...
