Abstract

Abstract The bis (trifluoromethyl) phosphinous acid,(CF 3) 2 P [BOND] O [BOND] H, is the only known example of a thermally stable phosphinous acid. Although this compound has been known since 1960, little is known about the chemistry of this extraordinary compound; this might be due to the tedious, and in some part risky, synthesis that was originally published. An improved, simple, and safe synthesis that is based on the treatment of the ...
