The oxidation of white phosphorus by hydrogen peroxide or different organic peroxides (such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide, dibenzoylperoxide, 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) has been studied in both aqueous and alcoholic solutions under anaerobic conditions. Depending on the reaction conditions, P (I)(hypophosphorous acid), P (III)[phosphorous acid, mono-and dialkyl (or diaryl) hydrogen phosphonates] and P (V)[phosphoric acid or trialkyl (or triaryl) ...
