Because of the importance of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) in biology and chemistry, there is increased interest in new strategies to perform HAT in a sustainable manner. Here, we describe a sustainable, net redox-neutral HAT process involving hydrosilanes and alkali metal Lewis base catalysts - eliminating the use of transition metal catalysts - and report an associated mechanism concerning Lewis base-catalysed, complexation-induced HAT (LBCI-HAT). The catalytic LBCI-HAT is capable of accessing ...[more]
