Abstract
A tetraorganyl-alumaborane (3) that contains an Al-B bond and twisted Al and B planes was synthesized and structurally characterized. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical measurement, and DFT calculations were employed to reveal the electronic properties of 3. The reactivity of 3 toward DMSO and CO was studied to demonstrate its deoxygenating abilities. On the basis of the results of the DFT calculations, a detailed reaction mechanism was developed, which highlighted the important role of the distinct Lewis acidity of the group-13 elements Al and B in 3.
