Abstract

Secondary phosphine oxides can be expeditiously converted into secondary phosphine-boranes by treatment with an excess of BH3˙SMe2 at room temperature. Selectivity of the conversion towards the formation of secondary phosphine-boranes is greatly improved by the addition of a small amount of water to the reaction mixture.
