Abstract

Abstract The reaction of the benzylic halides systems with sodium dialkylphosphites as well as the sodium salt of dibenzylphosphine oxide in THF and alcohols as the solvents is described. According to the constitution of the starting materials, the formation of the P—C bond, dehalogenation or dimerization occurs. Probable mechanisms namely SET and X- philic substitution are discussed.
