1. General Methods. All air- and moisture-sensitive compounds were manipulated using standard Schlenk tech-

niques under an atmosphere of nitrogen or in nitrogen filled glovebox. All glass wares were

heated to 120oC overnight and either attached to the vacuum line or placed into the glovebox

while hot. All solvents were dried over the appropriate drying agents (CaH2,

Na/benzophenone) and freshly distilled prior to use. NMR solvents, BuLi, B(OMe)3, Mg turn-

ings, 2-chloropropane, N-clorosuccinimide, TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid), iPrMgCl*LiCl

complex and 1-bromo-2,6-difluorobenzene were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical

Company, pentafluorobromobenzene and 1-bromo-2,3,6-trifluorobenzene was purchased

from Fluorochem Ltd., 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene from Apollo Scientific Ltd.

Mesitylbromide, trimesitylphosphine and triethylphosphinoxide were purchased from Abcr

Chemical Gmbh and Co. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane was purchased from TCI Chemicals.

Trimethylborate was freshly distilled from sodium before use; other materials were used as

received.

1H, 19F, 11B, and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Unity Inova 500 MHz or

Brucker Avance 400 MHz, or 250 MHz spectrometers at 303 K, unless indicated otherwise.

Chemical shifts referenced internally to residual solvent resonances (C6D6: 1H δ 7.15, 13C δ

128.62, CD2Cl2: 1H δ 5.32, 13C δ 53.84, C7D8:

1H δ 7.10, 13C δ 20.38, CDCl3: 1H δ 7.26, 13C δ

77.00, d8-THF: 1H δ 1.85, 3.76, 13C δ 25.62, 67.97, d6-DMSO: 1H δ 2.5, 13C δ 39.52). Other

nuclei were referenced to an external standard BF3*Et2O (11B), CFCl3 (19F), all at 0 ppm.

Chemical shifts are reported in ppm, and coupling constants are reported in Hz.

High resolution mass spectra were obtained on a Q-TOF Premier mass spectrometer (Waters

Corporation) in positive electrospray mode, or on a Waters GCT Premier mass spectrometer

in positive electron ionization (EI+) mode. Melting points were measured using an OptiMelt

MPA100 melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. Gas chromatography analyses were

performed on an Agilent HP-5 chromatograph (Series 6850, column: 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25

m, FID, Program: 80°C, 15°C min-1, 250°C, 5 min, Inj.: 250°C, Det.: 280°C). GC-MS

measurements were performed on a Shimadzu GC-MS-QP210ULTRA apparatus (column:

ZB-5MSi, 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 m, EI+, Program: 80°C, 3 min, 15°C min-1, 250°C, 2 min,

Inj.: 250°C, Det.: 280°C). FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Varian 2000 (Scimitar Series)

FT-IR spectrophotometer in ATR mode and are reported in wavenumbers (cm-1).

2. Experimental procedures

2.1 Synthesis of reagents 2-bromo-4-chloro-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene1 (6b) was synthesized according to

published procedures.

2-bromo-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (6c). Trichloroisocyanuric acid (3.30 g, 10.0

mmol) was added in small portions to the mixture of 2-bromo-4-

chloromesitylene (1.20 g, 5.0 mmol), chloroform (10 ml) and perchloric acid

(70%, 0.40 ml) at room temperature, and stirred for 24 hours. The reaction was

followed by GC-FID. (In case off insufficient conversion, few more drops of perchloric acid

and calculated amount of trichloroisocyanuric acid was added.) The reaction mixture was hy-

drolyzed by pouring into ice/water, and was treated with 10% NaHCO3 solution until pH 7.

The solution was extracted with dichloromethane (3*10 ml). The combined organic layers

were dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was washed

with hexane to give the product as white crystals. Yield: 1.10 g (82%). M.p. 214-216°C. 1H

General procedure of boronic acid synthesis

A solution of 1 equiv. (10 mmol) mesitylbromide and 5 ml THF was added

dropwise to 1.2 equiv. (12 mmol, 0.30g) activated Mg turnings in 10 ml THF.

After the reaction started, the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. Then the reac-

tion mixture was cooled to -78°C, and treated with 2 equiv. (20 mmol, 2.0g) of

freshly distilled trimethylborate, and then the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to

room temperature, and stirred overnight (12 hours). The reaction was quenched with 2 equiv.

(20 mmol, 20 ml) 1M HCl-solution at 0 °C, then the mixture was stirred at rt. for two hours.

The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was washed with 3x10 ml diethyl ether.

The combined organic layer was washed with brine three times, dried over anhydrous

Na2SO4, filtered off and evaporated to dryness. The resulted solid/oil was suspended in hex-

ane, filtered off, washed with hexane 3 times and dried.

synthesized according to published procedures.

(2,6-dichlorophenyl)bis(2,6-difluorophenyl)borane (4a)6 were synthesized similar to pub-

lished procedures. The Grignard reagent, (2,6-difluoro)MgCl was pre-

pared from slow addition of iPrMgCl (prepared from 0.6 g, 23.0 mmol

activated magnesium turnings, 1.8g, 23.0 mmol 2-chloropropane, 10 ml

THF, stirred at 65°C for 1 hour), to a solution of 1-bromo-2,6-

difluorobenzene (5.0 g, 23.0 mmol) in THF (60 ml) at -20°C. The

cloudy solution was allowed to warm to 0°C, and stirred for 3 hours. After that the Grignard

reagent was added to the suspension of potassium (2,6-dichlorobenzene)trifluoroborate salt

(2.5g, 10.0 mmol in 10 ml THF) at 0°C and then it was allowed to warm to rt. and stirred

overnight. Next day, the solvent was evaporated, and the solid residue was extracted with 70

ml toluene. The mother liquor was evaporated to dryness. The remaining solid was washed

with hexane three times and dried under vacuum. The product was obtained as white solid. 6 Gyömöre, Á., Bakos, M., Földes, T., Pápai, I., Domján, A.. Soós, T., ACS Catal., 2015, 5 (9), 5366–5372.

3. Determination of Lewis-acidity

3.1 Gutmann­Beckett method.7  An NMR tube was charged with borane (0.15 mmol) and Et3PO (6.7 mg, 0.05 mmol) or

Ph3PO (14.0 mg, 0.05 mmol) and dry CD2Cl2. A sealed capillary tube was also placed into the

NMR tube, filled with 1M solution of Mes3P, as an internal standard. The 31P{1H} NMR spec-

tra was recorded at 303K.

4. Reactivity

In a glovebox, borane (0.05 mmol), DABCO (0.05 mmol, 6.0 mg), tert-butylbenzaldimine

(0.25 mmol, 40 mg) was dissolved in abs. toluene (1.0 ml), was added to a vial, and the vial

was placed in a high pressure reactor. The reactions took place under 10 bar H2 pressure at

room temperature. After the reaction time was over, the crude product was taken up in CDCl3

and 1H-NMR was taken. Conversions were calculated according to NMR integrals and GC-

MS, and can be seen in Table S3.

5. Theoretical Studies

5.1 Computational details  In our computational study, the geometries of boranes and borohydrides were optimized by

using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) level.8 Normal coordi-

nate analysis was carried out at the same level of theory for all optimized structures. The vi-

brational data were utilized to characterize the nature of the stationary points, and to estimate

various contributions to the Gibbs free energy. The thermochemical data were obtained within

the ideal gas – rigid rotor – harmonic oscillator approximation for T = 298.15K and c = 1

mol/dm3 conditions. For each located structure, additional single point energy calculations

were performed at the B3LYP-D3/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level to increase the accuracy of elec-

tronic structure predictions. The solvent effects were also taken into account at the B3LYP-

D3/6-311G(d,p) level by estimating the solvation free energies (solvent = toluene, chloro-

form, dichloromethane) by using the integral equation formalism variant of the polarizable

continuum model (IEFPCM)9. The atomic radii and non-electrostatic terms in the IEFPCM

calculations were those introduced by Truhlar and coworkers (SMD solvation model)10. All

DFT calculations were carried out with the Gaussian 09 package11. Several alternative ge-

ometries were tested for every borane and borohydride in order to identify their most stable

conformation. The energy values reported in the paper correspond to solution phase Gibbs

free energies of the most stable conformations that are based on LYP-D3/6-

311++G(3df,3pd) electronic energies and all additional terms obtained at the B3LYP-D3/6-

311G(d,p) level.

Hydride affinity values presented in the paper were calculated as the Gibbs free energy of

hydride detachment defined by the following reaction:

[HB](sol) B(sol) + H(sol) Ghydr

Herein, B(sol) denotes the solvated borane species, [HB](sol) the solvated borohydride and

H(sol) the solvated hydride anion. Standard conditions (T = 298.15 K and c = 1 mol/dm3) and

several solvent models were used for free energy calculations.

a Notation: Eo and Eo′ refer to electronic energies computed B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) and B3LYP-D3/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level of DFT; Godenotes gas-phase Gibbs free energies and Gs

toluene, Gschloroform, Gs

DCM denote solvation corrected electronic energies obtained from B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) calculations (T = 298.15 K). The last four columns are obtained as Go

i = Eo′ + (Go - Eo) + (Gsi - Eo) + ΔGconc where i refers to the applied solvation medium. In the case of vacuum Gs

vacuum = Eo. The value ΔGconc corresponds to concentration correction to the free energy when switching from p = 1 atm (ideal gas standard state) to c = 1mol/dm3 (standard concentration in solution phase, where ΔGconc = 0.00302 a.u.).

Table S4.The energy data (in atomic units) computed for B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) optimized structures.
