Stereochemistry of desulphurisation and deoxygenation of oxophosphoranesulphenyl chlorides by trivalent phosphorus compounds
Abstract
The ratio of desulphurisation to deoxygenation of oxophosphoranesulphenyl chlorides, >P(O)SCI, by trivalent phosphorus compounds depends on the nature of the PIII compounds and is accompanied by inversion of configuration at the chiral phosphorus atom of the sulphenyl chloride.
