摘要
[(acridine)BCl2][AlCl4] was synthesized by halide abstraction from (acridine)BCl3 with AlCl3. The hydride ion affinity of the C9 position in [(acridine)BCl2](+)was calculated to be 14 kcal mol(-1) greater than that at boron. [(acridine)BCl2][AlCl4] reacts with 1 equiv of acridine to form the strained boronium cation [(acridine)(2)BCl2][AlCl4] and with P(mesityl)(3) by photoinduced one-electron transfer to form the 9,9'-biacridane moiety by radical coupling. A stable frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) was formed on combining [(acridine)BCl2][AlCl4] and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylpyridine (TBP), which heterolytically activated H-2 at 100 degrees C. The ultimate location of the hydride from H-2 activation was the C9 position of acridine and not boron. Carbon Lewis acid based reactivity also occurred when thieno[3,2-b]thiophene was added to the [(acridine)BCl2][AlCl4]/TBP FLP or to [(acridine)(2)BCl2][AlCl4], with arylation of acridine at C9 observed for both.
