Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of (1S,3R,4S,1′S)-4-methyl-3-triphenyl-pnosphonium-1-[1′-methyl(methyiphenyl)]-2-hydrido-2-borazetidinium bromide—the first example of a four-membered C–B–N–C heterocycle

Abstract

The title compound and related derivatives are synthesised from enamino(triphenyl)phosphonium salts and borane, and converted into β-aminophosphonium salts and β-aminophosphine oxides containing two chiral centres.
