The strong boron Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane B(C<sub>6</sub> F<sub>5</sub> )<sub>3</sub> is known to catalyze the dehydrogenative coupling of certain amines and hydrosilanes at elevated temperatures. At higher temperature, the dehydrogenation pathway competes with cleavage of the C-N bond and defunctionalization is obtained. This can be turned into a useful methodology for the transition-metal-free reductive deamination of a broad range of amines as well as heterocumulenes such as a ...[more]
