| Abstract | The reduction of organic substrates using high-valent oxo-transition metal complexes represents a new catalytic activity. In this study, we theoretically investigated the mechanism of catalytic reduction of amides, amines, nitriles and sulfoxides with boranes by the high-valent di-oxo-molybdenum(VI) complex MoO2Cl2. Our computational results reveal that reduction of sulfoxides with boranes catalyzed by MoO2Cl2 proceeds via a [2 + 2] addition pathway involving the B–H bond of borane adding across the MoO bond to form a metal hydride intermediate, followed by the elimination of the new species HOBcat, accompanied by the loss of the sulfide. The activation free energy of the turnover-limiting step is calculated to be 24.0 kcal mol−1. By contrast, borane additions to either amide, amine or nitrile proceed through an ionic outer-sphere mechanism, in which the substrates attack the boron center to prompt the heterolytic cleavage of the B–H bond, generating an anionic molybdenum(VI) hydride paired with a borylated amide/amine/nitrile cation. Then, the activated organic substrates abstract a hydride from the molybdenum(VI) center to complete the catalytic cycle. The activation free energies of the turnover-limiting step along the ionic outer-sphere pathway are calculated to be ~22.7, 19.7 and 30.6 kcal mol−1 for benzamide, N-(diphenylmethylene)benzenamine, and benzonitrile, respectively. These values are energetically more favorable (~3–8.0 kcal mol−1) than those via the [2 + 2] addition pathway. Along the ionic outer-sphere pathway, the multiply bonded oxo ligand does not participate in the activation of the B–H bond. The ionic outer-sphere mechanism suggests that the high-valent di-oxo-molybdenum(VI) complex MoO2Cl2 acts as a Lewis acid in catalyzing the reduction reaction and activation of B–H bonds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
