Despite the ever-broadening applications of main-group 'frustrated Lewis pair' (FLP) chemistry to both new and established reactions, their typical intolerance of water, especially at elevated temperatures (>100 °C), represents a key barrier to their mainstream adoption. Herein we report that FLPs based on the Lewis acid <sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>SnOTf are moisture tolerant in the presence of moderately strong nitrogenous bases, even under high temperature regimes, allowing them to operate as si ...[more]
