Abstract

Alkyl and aryl dithiophosphinates were synthesized by the reaction of disulfides with biphosphine disulfides in the presence of RhH (PPh3) 4 and 1, 2-diphenylphosphinoethane (dppe). The catalyst also promoted synthesis of thiophosphinates and selenothiophosphinates from disulfides and diselenides.
