Rearrangements of secondary and tertiary carbonium ions by diphenylphosphinyl migration
Abstract
Secondary and tertiary carbonium ions with a β-diphenylphosphinyl substituent, generated by solvolysis of sulphonates, or electrophilic attack on suitable olefins, rearrange exclusively by diphenylphosphinyl migration. The preference for this supposedly unfavourable reaction pathway is investigated.
