Elemental Phosphorus in the Synthesis of Organophosphorus Compounds: The Recent Advances (A Review)

Abstract

Abstract: Recent publications on direct reactions of elemental phosphorus with organic halides (alkyl bromides, aryl (and hetaryl) halides, and aryl (and hetaryl) methyl halides) in the presence of superbasic and micellar catalysts are considered. The development of effective, technologically and environmentally acceptable methods for obtaining alkyl(and benzyl)-H-phosphinic and alkylphosphonic acids, triaryl(and hetaryl)phosphines and hetarylmethylphosphine oxides based on the above reactions is analyzed.
