Abstract
Phosphorylation of phenylacetylene with white or activated red phosphorus (prepared from white phosphorus under the action of ionizing radiation) occurs in KOH-DMSO or KOH-HMPA systems with heat evolution and stereoselective formation of Z isomers of tristyrylphosphine and -phosphine oxide in yields of 48-49% and 10-15%, respectively. Under the comparable conditions the commercial red phosphorus is considerably less reactive toward phenylacetylene: The total yield of the above-mentioned products is 5%.
