Lewis Acid Vs. Base To better understand the difference between a Lewis acid vs. a Lewis base, consider which compounds in a reaction have an available electron pair to donate and which compounds need to receive an electron pair. Since the definition of a Lewis base is a species that forms...
Lewis Acid Example An example of an acid/base reaction that can't be described by the Bronsted-Lowry definition is Al3+in water. Aluminum Hexa-aqua Complex Al3+is ahard Lewis acid. It reacts with water to produce an aqua complex Al(H2O)63+. ...
Being short of the preferred octet, BF3 is a very good Lewis acid and reacts with many Lewis bases; a fluoride ion is the Lewis base in this reaction, donating one of its lone pairs: In the following reaction, each of two ammonia molecules, Lewis bases, donates a pair of electrons to...
Determine whether the following reaction is a Lewis acid/base reaction and if so, what is the Lewis acid: HF(aq) + SbF5(aq) arrow HSbF6(aq) In the reaction SbCl3 + 2Cl-arrow (SbCl5)2-, what is the Lewis acid and the Lewis base?
Lewis Acid Catalyzed Carbonyl-Ene Reaction Michael Ober 12/16/03 H C O + H O C R R R R LA The Hetero-Ene Reaction H X Y + H Y X X=Y : C=C, C=O, C=N, C=S, O=O, N=N (1) All-carbon ene-reactions: takes place between an olefin ...
Lewis acidscatalysisheterocyclesindiumcondensationA survey of Lewis acids was conducted to facilitate the formation of arylidenethiohydantoins. The use of indium(III) triflate shows significant advantages in facilitating this reaction. In most examples, the Lewis acid promoted catalysis gave shorter ...
Draw the product of each Lewis acid-base reaction. {eq}CH_3SCH_3 + AlCl_3 \rightarrow {/eq} ___ Lewis acids Lewis acids are those compounds in which central atom has an incomplete octet. For example, in the case of {eq}BCl_3 {/eq}, B contains only 6 elec...

Herein, we report a Lewis acid-catalyzed Pudovik reaction–phospha-Brook rearrangement sequence between diarylphosphonates or -phosphinates and α-pyridinealdehydes to access valuable phosphoric ester compounds. This transformation provides an extended substrate scope that is complementary to similar ...
New enzyme catalysts are usually engineered by repurposing the active sites of natural proteins. Here we show that design and directed evolution can be used to transform a non-natural, functionally naive zinc-binding protein into a highly active catalyst
