1H nuclear magnetic resonance study of the exchange reaction between the complex trimethylphosphine–trimethylborane and its components. Part I. Trimethylphosphine in excess
Abstract
The reaction between Me3P,BMe3 and an excess of trimethylphosphine in toluene proceeds by a dissociative mechanism, with activation parameters ΔH‡ 63 kJ mol–1, and ΔS‡ 36 J K–1 mol–1.
