Abstract

The electrochemical synthesis of a wide range of tertiary mono- and diphosphines has been achieved in very simple and mild conditions, in an undivided electrolytic cell with a sacrificial anode of magnesium.

The electroreduction of Ph2PCl or PhPCl2 in presence of alkyl halides in a one-compartment cell with a sacrificial Mg anode affords the corresponding mono- or dialkylated tertiary phosphines in good yields.
