Abstract

Tris (2, 6-dimethoxyphenyl) phosphine sulfide reacted with alkyl iodides or bromides under mild conditions to give stable alkylthiophosphonium salts, which reacted with thiols at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of tris (2, 6-dimethoxyphenyl) phosphine to give the tertiary phosphonium salt and unsymmetrical disulfides.
