The researchers from Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and CSIC used density functional theory to look at the mechanism of the reaction when catalysed by PtCl2 and Au(I). They had a range of questions they wanted to answer, including ‘do the allene substituents affect the reaction mechanism? Are the PtCl2 and Au(I)-catalyzed processes exhibiting a similar profile? Why do some substrate/catalyst combinations give rise to [4 + 2] instead of [4 + 3] cycloadducts?’

Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are usually a combination of a sterically hindered Lewis base (often phosphines or amines) and a sterically bulky Lewis acid (traditionally a bulky borane). The resulting ‘frustrated’ molecules are fantastically reactive – capable of cleaving dihydrogen, activating alkynes, boranes, olefins and even ring-opening THF and ethers. In their recent Dalton Trans. Hot Article, Doug Stephan and team play around with the Lewis acid element of this handy family and in the process they extend the activity of FLPs even further.
