Improved processes for liberating boronic, RB(OR')2, and borinic, RR'BOR', esters from their "ate" complexes, free of alcohol are provided. Pyrolysis of lithium organylborates LiRB(OR')3 and LiRR'BOR', wherein R is an organyl group and R' is straight or branched-chain lower alkyl, directly yields the relatively volatile boronic and borinic esters in high purity, leaving behind a residue of lithium alkoxide. Treatment of the lithium organylborates with an appropriate acid halide cleanly liberates either volatile or non-volatile boronic or borinic esters, readily separated from the lower alkyl ester produced as a by-product. The novel compound lithium dimethylborohydride is also provided.
