A combined experimental/computational study of the Lewis acid promoted hydroxyalkylation reaction involving aldehyde and arene/heteroarene reveals a mechanism in which the rate determining aldehyde to alcohol formation involves a transfer of hydrogen and the breaking of the C–H bond and formation of C–C and O–H bonds.

A computational study indicates that the pyridinium hydridoborate ion pair is the key intermediate for the full hydrogenation of 2,6-substituted pyridine catalyzed by the Lewis acid C6F5(CH2)2B(C6F5)2.

Cyclohex-2-enylation of aldehydes, mediated with boron trifluoride etherate, involves γ-equatorial approach of the presumed aldehyde-Lewis acid adduct (RCHO-BF3), irrespective of starting stannane stereochemistry. Marginal threo selectivity characterizes homoallyl alcohol formation from benzaldehyde, whereas alkanals react with high erythro selectivity, so that 1-(1′-hydroxyalkyl)cyclohex-2-enes in this diastereomeric form are available based on allyltin chemistry.

The distribution of Al and the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine in both Na-form and H-form ZSM-12 were investigated using dispersion-corrected density functional theory. It was found that the energy differences for Al atoms in the different T sites of ZSM-12 (both H form and Na form) were less than 0.3 eV, which indicates that the Al atoms could distribute in all kinds of T sites in ZSM-12. In addition, the small energy difference indicates that both H and Na atoms could stay in either the small cage or the main channel of ZSM-12. The adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on NaZSM-12 is weak, while the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on HZSM-12 is strong, as they could form NH4+ and NC5H6+ species in the presence of protons. Both NH3 and pyridine could adsorb on the Lewis Al3+ sites in HZSM-12, while the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on the Lewis acid sites are less stable than on the Brønsted acid sites of ZSM-12.
