Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in
modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The …

We report the phospha-bora-Wittig reaction for the direct preparation of phosphaalkenes
from aldehydes, ketones, esters, or amides. The transient phosphaborene Mes* P═ B–NR2 …

Due to the serious ecological problems caused by the high CO2 content in the atmosphere,
reducing atmospheric CO2 has attracted widespread attention from academia and …

Herein, we present the synthesis of the first fully characterized monomeric
triphosphinoboranes. The simple reaction of boron tribromide with 3 equiv of bulky lithium …

Herein, we present the first example of the activation of small molecules by P–B–P bond
systems. The reactivity study involves reactions of two selected diphosphinoboranes,(t …

This investigation examines the reactivity of phosphinoboronate esters Ph2PBpin (pin= 1, 2-
O2C2Me4) and Ph2PBcat (cat= 1, 2-O2C6H4), as well as other phosphinoboron species …

Several new diphenylamino-and diphenylphosphanyldialkylalanes are reported, which
were characterized in solution and in the solid state, assisted by in-depth bonding analysis …

Reactions of Ph3GePCO with KP (t-Bu) 2 and Ph3SiCl, or direct reaction with Ph3SiP (t-Bu)
2 provides the (Z)-and (E)-isomers of the phosphaalkene (t-Bu2) PC (OSiPh3) P (GePh3) 2 …

An unprecedented family of three‐and five‐membered substituted anionic derivatives of
parent pnictogenylboranes is herein reported. Reacting various combinations of the …

The reversible addition of olefins to a phosphanylalumane, P− Al single‐bond species, was
investigated. The P− Al bond added to ethylene and relatively small terminal alkenes …
