title: One-pot synthesis of ammonia-borane and trialkylamine-boranes from trimethyl borate.
abstract: A one-pot procedure for the preparation of ammonia borane from trimethyl borate in 90% yield and >99% purity has been reported. This methodology has been modified to prepare a series of trialkylamine-boranes in 70-82% yields from trimethyl borate and lithium hydride/aluminum chloride in the presence of the corresponding trialkylamine.
