Abstract

The reaction mechanism for the transition metal free direct hydrogenation of bulky imines catalyzed by the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 is investigated in detail by quantum chemical calculations. A recently introduced mechanistic model of heterolytic hydrogen splitting that is based on noncovalent associatio...
