Abstract

Aromatic carbonyl compounds in combination with B(C(6)F(5))(3) are able to activate H(2) heterolytically. The reactivity of the carbonyl-B(C(6)F(5))(3) adduct is initiated by its thermal dissociation into components. After H(2) addition, aromatic carbonyl compounds convert into aryl-substituted methanes or alcohols.
