Frustrated Lewis pairs: reactivities of TMS protected amines and phosphines in the presence of B(C(6)F(5))(3).
TMS protected amines in combination with B(C(6)F(5))(3) were found to activate H(2) and this is followed by a cleavage of the N-Si bond and the generation of TMSH. A TMS protected phosphine on the other hand reacts rapidly with B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give the known compound tBu(2)P(C(6)F(4))B(C(6)F(5))(2) by a facile and efficient route.
