Abstract

Abstract Organic compounds containing a positively polarized halogen atom react with tertiary phosphines either with reductive elimination of the halogen or with formation of phosphonium salts and quasi‐phosphonium salts, depending on the solvent. In this reaction, the phosphine first attacks the halogen.
