Book excerpt: Written for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those chemists unfamiliar with "frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs)", this text serves as an introduction to the both the concept and application of FLPs in hydrogenation catalysis. The book begins by setting the stage as it was around the turn of the century. While the dramatic impacts of catalysis were undeniable, there was dependence of such technologies on transition metal chemistry. Contrastingly, the chemistry of main group elements was dominated by Lewis acid-base behavior. However, these perceptions were altered with the discovery of the ability of "frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs)" to activate dihydrogen. The basic features, and mechanisms of action of these unique main group systems are chronicled, while the evolution of the initial findings to applications in catalytic hydrogenation is discussed. A subsequent chapter focuses on the breadth of organic substrates for which borane based FLP hydrogenations are effective. This is furthered with a chapter on the metal-free enantioselective reductions. FLP chemistry is not limited to systems involving boranes and this book also catalogues a range of FLP hydrogenation catalysts involving elements from across the periodic table. The final chapter in the book describes other directions of interest where the application of the concept of FLPs hydrogenation are beginning to emerge. Ideal for course use and self study, this book provides synthetic chemists with a fresh, expert introduction to the field. The reader will be left recognizing that hydrogenation catalysts is a domain no longer limited to transition metals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis has sought to develop the field of small-molecule activation via the rational evolution of the principle of Frustrated Lewis Pairs. In the first instance, Chapter 1 serves to give a brief introduction into the field of small molecule activation by transition metals and FLPs, with a particular focus on the most challenging and impacting small molecule substrates. Chapter 2 [1] explores the concept of frustrated Lewis pairs and Lewis acidity in more detail and specifically, the structure-reactivity trends of boron Lewis acids in FLP systems with respect to the reversible binding of H2. The motivation for this research was to develop a series of linked phosphino-borinate FLPs with a view to generating systems that may activate hydrogen in a reversible manner, furthering the scope for this class of compounds in hydrogen storage applications. Chapter 3 [2] is a continuation on the previous theme; modifying the Lewis acid component of an FLP system to facilitate previously unseen transformations and address some of the issues of existing systems. More specifically, to address the lack of catalytic systems based on the FLP paradigm. To that end, a series of cationic phosphino-aryl(alky)oxymetallocenes (PAMs) was targeted with the hypothesis that these compounds would behave as transition metal-main group FLPs. Correspondingly, the limit of this semblance to the FLP was investigated in depth in Chapter 4 [3] by demonstrating that a wide range of the reactions reported for main group FLPs could be affected by PAM complexes. In addition, several other novel reactivity patterns were discovered that are so far unprecedented for the main group analogues. In the final chapter [4], the benefits of including the unique properties of the transition metals in PAM complexes is demonstrated by an in depth study into their utility as catalysts for the dehydrogenation of amine-boranes. The fact that this reaction is only known in a stoichiometric sense for the main group systems is testament to the success of the original thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of catalytic hydrogenation, the field of transition metal-based hydrogenation catalysis has grown significantly. Recently, main group systems have demonstrated the capability to perform some of the same catalytic processes. Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP), the combination of sterically encumbered Lewis acids and Lewis bases, are able to activate a variety of small molecules. The research presented in this thesis investigates main group and transition metal-based catalytic hydrogenation, as well as stoichiometric transformations with main group systems. A variety of ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were generated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the NHC to impart water-solubility. These hydrogenation catalysts were used to hydrogenate nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR). The PEG lengths had minimal effect on the conversion of NBR in solution phase. For the hydrogenation of NBR latex, a correlation was observed between the PEG length and the activity. A family of phosphinimines with different steric and electronic properties was synthesized from the Staudinger reaction between alkynyl-phosphines and azido-phosphine-boranes. Cyclization of these products can be induced thermally or by the addition of catalytic amounts of B(C6F5)3. Upon cyclization, a net trans-hydroboration was observed on the exocyclic alkene. A novel geminal boron-sulfur FLP was synthesized from the hydroboration of sulfur-alkynes. These systems demonstrated FLP-type chemistry such as the activation of terminal alkynes. Interestingly, the frustration was a result of the steric conflict between the tert-butyl substituent on the carbon and the p-tolyl substituent on the Lewis basic sulfur. This FLP-type reactivity can altered upon isomerization of the complex, forming the classical Lewis pair adduct. Finally, metal-free transformation of 3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one was investigated. The Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 was shown to catalytically hydrogenate the allyl functionality of the substrate, as well as catalytic hydrosilylation of the conjugated alkene.

Book excerpt: Publius Syrus stated back in 42 B.C., “You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.” (Maxim 596) Though written long before the advent of forensic science, Syrus’ maxim summarizes the theme of Forensic Medicine of the Lower Extremity: Human Identification and Trauma Analysis of the Thigh, Leg, and Foot. Put simply, the lower extremity is a tremendously variable anatomic region. This variation is beneficial to forensic experts. Differences in the leg and foot can be used to establish individual identity. Analysis of damage to the lower limb can be used to reconstruct antemortem, perimortem, and postmortem trauma. As a forensic anthropologist, I analyze cases involving decomposed, burned, m- mified, mutilated, and skeletal remains. Many of the corpses I examine are incomplete. Occasionally, I receive nothing but the legs and feet; a lower torso dragged from a river; a foot recovered in a city park; dismembered drug dealers in plastic bags; victims of bombings and airline disasters; and the dead commingled in common graves. Though the leg and foot contain much that is useful in forensic analysis, before this publication, investigators faced a twofold problem. Little research that focused on the lower extremity was available in the literature, and the existing research was published in diverse sources, making its location and synthesis a daunting task.
