The monodeprotonation of [CH2(PPh2→BH3)(PPh2═E)] (E = S (6), O (7)) afforded [CH(PPh2→BH3)(PPh2═E)]− (E = S (6-), O (7–)), whose structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The kinetics of the second deprotonation appeared to be crucial in efficient synthesis of the corresponding dianions. T...
