Cd. Hall et al., THE KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF THE REACTION OF TRICOORDINATE PHOSPHORUS-COMPOUNDS WITH SULFENATE ESTERS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 123, 1997, pp. 341-358
The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of tricoordinate phosphorus
compounds, ArnP(OCH2CF3)(3-n) with arylsulfenate esters, ArSOCH2CF3,
are reported. Product analysis, kinetic order, activation parameters,
Hammett data and solvent effects are the criteria used to elucidate th
e two step mechanism involving arylthiophosphoranes as intermediates.
