A Study of the Electrochemical Synthesis of Tri-n-butylstannyldiphenylphosphine and of the Reaction between Chlorodiphenylphosphine and Alkyl Halides

Abstract

The electrochemical synthesis of tri-n-butylstannyldiphenylphosphine is described, and a new mechanism for the electrochemical coupling between Ph₂PCl and Bu₃SnCl and between PH₂PCl and alkyl halides is proposed.
