Abstract

Aromatic carbonyl compounds in combination with B(C₆F₅)₃ are able to activate H₂ heterolytically. The reactivity of the carbonyl–B(C₆F₅)₃ adduct is initiated by its thermal dissociation into components. After H₂ addition, aromatic carbonyl compounds convert into aryl-substituted methanes or alcohols.
