Substituent effects on the Lewis acidity of 4,6-di-tert-butylchatechol boronate esters
Bentley, Jordan N.,Caputo, Christopher B.
, p. 31 - 35 (2019)
In studying the factors which contribute to the Lewis acidity of organoboron compounds we investigated approaches to the design of robust, novel Lewis acids purposed for metal-free catalysis. Based on a sterically encumbered catechol motif, a series of boronate esters are shown to demonstrate modest Lewis acidities for the conventional Gutmann-Beckett test as an inquisitive investigation.
