A metal-free approach for the hydrogenolysis of unactivated c(aryl)-c(alkyl) bonds

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: C-C bonds et al. from the Fudan University have published the paper: A metal-free approach for the hydrogenolysis of unactivated C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors report that a borenium complex can catalyze the selective hydrogenolysis of unstrained C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds of alkylarenes at ambient temperature, affording the corresponding alkanes and arenes.
• how: To understand the mechanism of this hydrodealkylation reaction the authors conducted kinetic experiments to determine the order of the reaction in each reactant by monitoring the hydrogenolysis of 6 . . .
