Ea. Mukhutdinov et al., Electronic structure of 10-alkyl(aryl)phenoxarsines and the mechanism of their reactions with methyl iodide, RUSS CHEM B, 47(11), 1998, pp. 2298-2299
The structure of 10-alkyl(aryl)phenoxarsines has been investigated by the s
emiempirical quantum-chemical PM3 method. The As-III atom has a positive ch
arge and simultaneously exhibits nucleophilic properties in the reaction wi
th methyl iodide. The reactions of 10-alkyl(aryl)phenoxarsines with methyl
iodide are probably controlled by charge distribution.
