We report LiBH4 as a preferred, simple and effective reagent for reductive boronation of achiral and racemic chlorophosphonium salts (CPS) and for diastereomeric alkoxyphosphonium salts (DAPS), both of which are, in turn, easily generated from either the corresponding phosphane or, more conveniently, the phosphane oxide. Further, we have shown that the DAPS reduction/boronation could be achieved with complete stereocontrol to give scalemic phosphane-borane directly in excellent yield and enantiomeric excess (ee). This new methodology was employed to investigate the effects of aryl substitution on the outcome of dynamic kinetic resolution of arylmethylphenylphosphanes and phosphane oxides via DAPS. It was found that substitution at the ortho position strongly affects the degree of stereoselection. However, surprisingly, we confirmed that there was no variation of stereoselectivity seen with the electronic effect of substituents on the para position.

A variety of phosphine oxides and sulfides can be efficiently converted directly to the corresponding phosphine boranes using oxalyl chloride followed by sodium borohydride. Optically active P-stereogenic phosphine oxides can be converted stereospecifically to phosphine boranes with inversion of configuration by treatment with Meerwein's salt followed by sodium borohydride.
