Reaction of activated vinyl halides with tervalent phosphorus nucleophiles
Abstract
cis- and trans- Isomers of derivatives of 3-halogenoacrylic acids undergo nucleophilic displacement reactions with triphenylphosphine, tri-n-butylphosphine, and triethyl phosphite to produce the correspondingtrans-vinyl-phosphonium salts and -phosphonates exclusively. 1H n.m.r.spectra are reported for these compounds. The mechanism of the displacement reaction is discussed.
