Abstract

The reactions of triaryl phosphites with halogens have been investigated less extensively. The reaction of an aryl ester such as triphenyl phosphite with chlorine or bromine has been reported to yield the dichloride,(C~ &, O)~ PC~ Z, or dibromide,(C&0) 3PBr2, respectively. The reaction of iodine with triaryl phosphites has not been reported previously in the literature. As a consequence of our interest in the synthetic possibilities of the reaction we ...
