FLP catalysis: main group hydrogenations of organic unsaturated substrates

Chem Soc Rev. 2019 Jul 1;48(13):3592-3612. doi: 10.1039/c8cs00277k.

Abstract

This article is focused on recent developments in main group mediated hydrogenation chemistry and catalysis using "frustrated Lewis pairs" (FLPs). The broading range of substrates and catalyst systems is reviewed and the advances in catalytic reductions and the development of stereoselective, asymmetric reductions made since 2012 is considered.
