title: Mild synthesis of organophosphorus compounds: reaction of phosphorus-containing carbenoids with organoboranes.
abstract: Organoboranes react with phosphorus-containing carbenoids to produce a variety of functionalized organophosphorus compounds under mild conditions. In some cases, selective migration of one group attached to boron can be observed. Phosphonite-borane complexes are introduced as novel synthons for the synthesis of phosphinic esters.
