Description
Summary:Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) are highly important chemicals, finding numerous applications in both academia and industry. Herein we describe a simple photocatalytic method for the stannylation of white phosphorus (P 4 ) using a cheap, commercially-available distannane, (Bu 3 Sn) 2 , and anthraquinone as a simple photocatalyst. Subsequent 'one pot' transformation of the resulting stannylated monophosphine intermediate (Bu 3 Sn) 3 P provides direct, convenient and versatile access to valuable OPCs such as acylated phosphines and tetraalkylphosphonium salts. A simple, mechanistically unique photochemical procedure is reported for the efficient, direct, catalytic stannylation of P 4 and 'one pot' transformation into valuable monophosphorus compounds.
