Facile Carbon Monoxide Reduction at Intramolecular Frustrated Phosphane/Borane Lewis Pair Templates

A new reaction pathway: Carbon monoxide is readily reduced by Piers' borane at a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) to yield a formylborane stabilized by the FLP (see picture). This reaction may be considered a typical example of efficient activation of a small molecule by a FLP.
