Abstract

Stable enol phosphonium salts were isolated from the reaction of certain a- haloacetophenones and triphenylphosphine. Pyrolysis and solvolysis of the enol phosphonium salts were also studied. The stereochemistry of the pyrolysis of IIb is discussed. Treatment of chlorodiphenylacetonitrile with triphenylphosphine led to the formation of an intermediate which, upon being treated with methanol, afforded the N- ...
