The ordering of the relative stabilities of adducts L BH3 for some common adducts is, according to L: Mc202S3N3P–. In addition to answering each of the following, indicate how you could use NMR spectroscopy to confirm your proposals.

(a)   What happens when Me3N is added to a THF solution of THF BH3?


(b)   Will Me2O displace Me3P from Me3P BH3?


(c)    Is [BIT4] stable in THF solution with respect to a displacement reaction?


(d)   Suggest what may be formed when Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 is added to a THF solution of THF BH3, the latter remaining in excess.
