Yg. Budnikova et al., Electrosynthesis of triorganylphosphines from organic halides and chlorophosphines, catalyzed by nickel complexes, RUSS J G CH, 70(4), 2000, pp. 524-528
The possibility of cross coupling of organic halides and chlorophosphines u
nder the action of electrochemically generated Ni(0) complexes of 2,2'-bipy
is shown. The final triorganylphosphines are formed by several pathways, i
ncluding reaction of the sigma complex of ArNiX with chlorophosphine and el
ectron transfer-induced reductive elimination of Ph2PArNiX, leading to the
cross-coupling product.
