The highly reactive subphthalocyanine boron triflate complex ((subPc)BOTf) was isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. The combination of (subPc)BOTf and bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS) yielded a “kinetically induced” frustrated Lewis pair system capable of activating a variety of substrates such as ethers, amides, and ketones. These reactions demonstrate the high reactivity of (subPc)BOTf toward organic molecules.
