Abstract

This reaction of the diary1 phosphinyl chlo-rides can be compared to the reaction of Grignard reagents with sulfonyl chlorides which produces sulfones. 2 Unlike the lattex, however, no hdo-genation was observed in the reaction with phosphinyl chlorides. This may be due to the fact that both the phosphine oxides and phosphinic acids are very stable compounds and difficult to reduce.
