Abstract The employment of transition metal catalysts has been a viable route in the degradation and depolymerization of unsaturated polymers. Initially, unsaturated polymers were degraded with a catalytic system containing a transition metal and a Lewis acid cocatalyst (WCl6/SnBu4). Degradation chemistry was effective in reducing the molecular weight of the polymer, however, the classical catalyst system induces side reactions which generates ill-defined products. These side reactions were obviated by using a preformed alkylidene without a Lewis acid cocatalyst, and perfectly difunctional telechelics were synthesized.

The development of chiral borane Lewis acid catalysts opened the door for transition-metal-free catalyzed asymmetric organic reactions. Herein, we have summarized our work on the preparation of two classes of novel chiral bicyclic bisborane Lewis acid catalysts derived from C2-symmetric [3.3.0] dienes and [4.4] dienes, respectively. These catalysts not only form frustrated Lewis pairs with Lewis bases to catalyze asymmetric hydrogenation reactions but also activate Lewis basic functional groups in traditional Lewis acid catalyzed asymmetric reactions.

Trichloroacetimidates function as effective electrophiles for the selective C3-alkylation of 2,3-disubstituted indoles to provide 3,3′-disubstituted indolenines. These indolenines are common synthetic intermediates that are often utilized in the synthesis of complex molecules. Effective reaction conditions utilizing Lewis acid catalysts have been determined, and the scope of the reaction with respect to indole and imidate reaction partner has been investigated. This chemistry provides an alternative to base promoted and transition-metal-catalyzed methods that are more commonly utilized to access similar indolenines.
