Abstract A very efficient synthesis of new perfluoro-functionalized triarylphosphanes using an oxygen substituent as the branching point for the introduction of the perfluoro chain has been developed. This approach enabled the introduction of the perfluoro tail at the para, meta, and ortho position, giving highly perfluorinated analogues of triphenylphosphane containing between 54 and 59 wt% fluorine. This methodology has been extended to the ...
