Synthesis of Compound 20. Dimesitylvinylphosphine (100 mg,
0.34 mmol) and HB(C6F5)2 (117 mg, 0.34 mmol) were dissolved
in pentane (10 mL) and stirred for 15 min. Upon addition of
cinnamaldehyde (42 µL, 0.34 mmol) at room temperature, a white
precipitate formed immediately. After the reaction mixture was
stirred overnight, the precipitate was isolated via cannula filtration.
The residue was then washed twice with pentane (2 mL), and all
volatiles were removed in vacuo to yield 20 (184 mg, 70%). Crystals
suitable for X-ray crystal structure analysis were obtained by gas
diffusion of heptane into a solution of 20 in benzene at room
temperature. Anal. Calcd for C41H34BF10OP: C, 63.58; H, 4.42.

white solid began to precipitate. After the reaction mixture was
stirred for 24 h, the solid was isolated via cannula filtration and
washed twice with pentane (2 mL). Removal of all volatiles in
vacuo yielded 21 (204 mg, 84%). Crystals suitable for X-ray crystal
structure analysis were grown by slow concentration of a solution
of 21 in dichloromethane at -36 °C. Anal. Calcd for C36H34BF10P:
