Rapid intramolecular heterolytic dihydrogen activation by a four-membered heterocyclic phosphane-borane adduct.
A four-membered cyclic intramolecular phosphane-borane adduct activates dihydrogen to yield the respective ethylene-bridged zwitterionic phosphonium-hydridoborate system, which reduces benzaldehyde.
