“…The combinations of various bases and acids, as well as the various coupling ways of the two components, have led to the various FLPs, which can mainly be categorized into P···B [9,11,14,[20][21][22], N···B [17][18][19], and stable carbene···B FLPs [15,16]. In addition to hydrogen activation, some FLPs have been demonstrated to be able to function as hydrogenation catalysts to reduce imines [17,[23][24][25][26]32], nitriles [23,24], enamines [17,26], and silyl enol ethers [27,32], experimentally, or imines [33,34] and ketones [35], computationally. On the other hand, we noted that, while R 2 PB(C 6 F 5 ) 2 has been demonstrated to be capable of activating hydrogen, the hydrogen activation ability of the compounds featured by a B-N bond, (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BR(R=NC 4 H 4 and NC 4 H 8 ), synthesized by groups who are active in metal-free hydrogen activation, was not reported [36].…”
