Abstract
2-Arsonohexanoic acid is decomposed during its attempted reduction to 2-ars enosohexanoic acid by triphenylphosphine in the presence of a catalytic amo unt of iodine. When ascorbic acid is substituted for the triphenylphosphine , hexanoic acid is obtained, implying that the arscorbic acid acts as a hyd ride donor. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
