Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, Article, Angewandte Chemie, International Edition called Metal-free Catalytic Olefin Hydrogenation: Low-Temperature H2 Activation by Frustrated Lewis Pairs, Author is Greb, Lutz; Ona-Burgos, Pascual; Schirmer, Birgitta; Grimme, Stefan; Stephan, Douglas W.; Paradies, Jan, which mentions a compound: 3411-48-1, SMILESS is C1=CC2=C(C=C1)C(=CC=C2)P(C1=CC=CC2=C1C=CC=C2)C1=CC=CC2=C1C=CC=C2, Molecular C30H21P, Synthetic Route of C30H21P.
A metal-free catalytic olefin hydrogenation has been demonstrated using a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) strategy. This development evolved from the recognition that the inability to observe the activation of hydrogen by an FLP at room temperature does not necessary imply the absence of reactivity due to fast equilibrium reaction. In the presence of a substrate, the transient dihydrogen-activation product is intercepted by an olefin, thus effecting hydrogenation. The exptl. findings were confirmed by quantum chem. studies.
