Abstract

Within the last few decades, there has been published a huge volume of synthetic work dealing with phosphines and other trivalent phosphorus compounds, and incident to this work have appeared many speculations as to the mechanisms of the reactions involved. There have been, however, no definitive publications concerning the effect of structure on the reactivity of the free electron pair of those compounds, a knowledge of which is vitally ...
