A method is reported for the phosphoryl bond cleavage of O-alkyl phosphinates, phosphinothioates and certain phosphonamidates to furnish the corresponding P(iii) borane adducts. The two-step procedure relies upon initial activation of the phosphoryl bond with an alkyl triflate, followed by reduction of the resulting intermediate using lithium borohydride.
