T. Thorpe et al., A practical synthesis of a disulfonated phosphine and its application to biphasic catalysis, TETRAHEDR L, 41(22), 2000, pp. 4503-4505
A convenient synthesis of TPPDS (disodium P-phenyl-3,3'-phosphinediyl-bis(b
enzenesulfonate)) from triphenylphosphine is described. This represents a q
uick and reliable way to prepare a water-soluble phosphine with essentially
no phosphine oxide formation. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
