Abstract
Herein reported is the facial modification of tertiary phosphine boranes R3PBH3 by selective cleaving the P-Ph bond by sodium in which the phosphide borohydride R2PNa(BH3) is quantitatively generated and could be easily quenched by electrophiles to furnish a series of new phosphine boranes in high yields.
