Electrochemical synthesis of organophosphorus compounds with PO, PN and PC bonds from white phosphorus

Investigation of electrochemically induced conjugate addition reaction: A facile approach to preparation of Schonberg adduct

“…1, curve a) [9][10][11]. A peak current ratio (I C 1 p =I A 1 p ) of nearly unity, particularly during the repetitive recycling of potential, can be considered as a criterion for the stability of o-benzoquinone (2a) produced at the surface of the electrode under the experimental conditions. In other words, any side reactions such as hydroxylation and/or dimerization reactions are too slow to be observed at the time scale of cyclic voltammetry [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Organophosphorus compounds are of great practical importance in various branches of medicine, engineering and agriculture [1]. They play an important role in synthetic organic chemistry [2] from useful products such as drugs to harmful chemical warfare gases such as sarin [3].…”

Electrocatalytic eco-efficient functionalization of white phosphorus

“…Combining the advantages of usual homogeneous chemistry in solution and electrochemistry, when the reagents (both nucleophiles and electrophiles) are generated on electrodes directly in the reactions system, we succeeded in gaining high conversion of white phosphorus to target products and choosing conditions of high selectivity of the process [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…The joint action of alkoxy anion and halide on the white phosphorus molecules results in various derivatives of phosphorus acids (phosphates, pyrophosphates, phosphites), depending on electrolysis conditions (Scheme 1) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…The yield of trialkyl phosphates did not exceed 70% in all cases. On the basis of these data it is possible to suggest the general next processes (Scheme 2) [8][9][10][13][14][15][16][17].…”
