Dw. Allen et P. Benke, LIGAND-COUPLING IN THE ALKALINE-HYDROLYSIS OF ARYLPHOSPHONIUM SALTS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 86(1-4), 1994, pp. 259-262
Biaryls are formed via a ligand-coupling process in the alkaline hydro
lysis of a series of tetraarylphosphonium salts which bear electron-wi
thdrawing substituents in the para position of one of the aryl rings.
