Abstract
Some new water-soluble alkyltriarylphosphonium salts are reported. Their so lubility is due to the presence of either carboxy or hydroxy groups on the phenyl rings attached to phosphorus. Examples of both benzyl- and butylphos phonium salts are presented and investigation into their Wittig reactions w ith a range of aldehydes using water as the solvent is described.
