Key Points

To explore the catalytic properties of lanthanum borohydride confined within zeolites for C-H borylation.
Utilized solid-state NMR to analyze catalysts.
Conducted theoretical studies on zeolite-supported systems.
Compared activity of lanthanum borohydride in zeolite versus silica supports.
Lanthanum borohydride in zeolite showed catalytic activity for C-H borylation.
Silica-supported complex did not exhibit catalyst activity under the same conditions.

Implication

Theoretical studies reveal zeolite-supported lanthanum borohydride catalyzes C-H borylation in hydrocarbons, suggesting improved efficiency.

Abstract

Zeolite-supported single-site lanthanum borohydride catalyzes C–H borylation of hydrocarbons while the related silica-supported complex is inactive under comparable conditions. The identical composition of support–La(BH 4 ) 2 (THF) 2 sites in the two materials implies...
