• [34]. This was utilised by Appel in the mid 70s, who reported on the use of triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrachloride to convert an alcohol into the corresponding alkyl chloride [35]. The reaction produces byproducts, such as triphenylphosphine oxide, during the reaction that can be very difficult

• reduced pressure at the end of the reaction along with the solvent. The oxy-phosphonium salt 4 then reacts with the bromide counterion to produce the substituted product 6 along with the triphenylphosphine oxide byproduct (7). However, 3 is in equilibrium with the inverted ion pair 8, which can proceed

• suggests that a complex mixture of phosphorus species is present within the monolith. Triphenylphosphine oxide, from the starting material, and unreacted triphenylphosphine, due to inaccessible sites within the monolith, are probably present along with potentially a complex combination of active

• largely be located on silicon as shown in Figure 8a. This was found to be the case (ρ = +0.4) for asymmetric cyanohydrin synthesis catalysed by bimetallic aluminium(salen) complex 6 in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide [83][84], indicating that most of the catalysis in this case was due to

• activation of the TMSCN by the triphenylphosphine oxide rather than activation of the aldehyde by the metal(salen) complex. In contrast, reactions catalysed by complex 1 gave a Hammett plot with a reaction constant of +2.4, indicating that there was a significant increase in negative charge at the benzylic

• significantly (from +1.6 to +0.4) when the solvent is changed from dichloromethane to propylene carbonate. The results obtained in propylene carbonate are almost identical to those previously obtained with complex 6 and triphenylphosphine oxide as catalyst [52], and are entirely consistent with a significant

• isocyanate (2 mmol) under nitrogen at room temperature. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 6–12 h at 0–5 °C, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and ether/petroleum ether (1:2, 20 mL) was added to precipitate triphenylphosphine oxide. After filtration, the solvent was removed to give
