Popis: | Electroreduction of triphenylphosphine oxide to triphenylphosphine in an acetonitrile solution of tetrabutylammonium bromide in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane was performed successfully in an undivided cell fitted with a zinc anode and a platinum cathode under constant current. A plausible mechanism involving, (1) one-electron reduction of triphenylphosphine oxide generating the corresponding anion radical [Ph 3 P˙-O - ], (2) subsequent reaction with chlorotrimethylsilane affording the (trimethylsiloxy)triphenylphosphorus radical [Ph 3 P˙-OSiMe 3 ], and (3) further one-electron reduction followed by P-O bond fission leading to triphenylphosphine is proposed. In a similar manner, electroreduction of some triarylphosphine oxides and alkyldiarylphosphine oxides was executed to give the corresponding phosphine derivatives in good to moderate yields. |
