Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of methyl chloride and methyl bromide with white phosphorus is studied under a variety of conditions, and the conditions giving a high yield of tetramethylphosphonium chloride and bromide are established. Thermal decomposition of [(CH3)4P]+Cl− gives (CH3)3P and CH3Cl, and alkaline decomposition of [(C4H9)3(C12H25)P]+Cl− gives C4H10 and (C4H9)2(C12H25)PO.
