Abstract

The development of novel Lewis acids derived from bipyridinium and phenanthrolinium dications is reported. Calculations of Hydride Ion Affinity (HIA) values indicate high carbon-based Lewis acidity at the ortho and para positions. This arises in part from extensive LUMO delocalization across the aromatic backbones. Species [C10 H6 R2 N2 CH2 CH2 ]2+ (R=H [1 a]2+ , Me [1 f]2+ , tBu [1 g]2+ ), and [C12 H4 R4 N2 CH2 CH2 ]2+ (R=H [2 a]2+ , Me [2 b]2+ ) were prepared and evaluated for use in the initiation of hydrodefluorination (HDF) catalysis. Compound [2 a]2+ proved highly effective towards generating catalytically active silylium cations via Lewis acid-mediated hydride abstraction from silane. This enabled the HDF of a range of aryl- and alkyl- substituted sp3 (C-F) bonds under mild conditions. The protocol was also adapted to effect the deuterodefluorination of cis-2,4,6-(CF3 )3 C6 H9 . The dications are shown to act as hydride acceptors with the isolation of neutral species C16 H14 N2 (3 a) and C16 H10 Me4 N2 (3 b) and monocationic species [C14 H13 N2 ]+ ([4 a]+ ) and [C18 H21 N2 ]+ ([4 b]+ ). Experimental and computational data provide further support that the dications are initiators in the generation of silylium cations.
