I. Petnehazy et al., HALF-WAVE POTENTIAL AS A TOOL FOR PREDICTING THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONOF THE REACTION OF ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED KETONES WITH A PHOSPHORUS NUCLEOPHILE, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (9), 1995, pp. 345
The occurrence or the non-occurrence of the reaction between enones an
d trialkyl phosphites and even the magnitude of the equilibrium consta
nt of their reaction can be predicted by measuring the half-wave poten
tial of the enones.
