The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

Industrial and laboratory methods for incorporating phosphorus atoms into molecules within
the framework of Green Chemistry are in their infancy. Current practice requires large inputs …

A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged—especially
within the past 10 years—that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry …

Experimental, spectroscopic, and computational studies are reported that provide an
evidence-based mechanistic description of an intermolecular reductive C–N coupling of …

This review surveys the literature regarding the development of catalytic versions of the
Wittig and aza-Wittig reactions. The first section summarizes how arsenic and tellurium …

Compared to the aza-Wittig reaction of aldehydes, ketones, amides, and esters, the aza-
Wittig reaction of acid anhydride was always overlooked, which should be an important part …

Abstract A phosphine‐catalyzed (3+ 2) annulation of 4‐acetoxy allenoate and aldimine with
the assistance of AgF is described. The success of this reaction hinges on the metathesis …

The well-known stoichiometric phosphine-promoted reactions such as the Wittig, Mitsunobu,
Staudinger, Appel reactions, and others are widely used in organic chemistry. Recently …

The first umpolung addition/intramolecular Wittig reaction, catalytic in phosphine, is
described. The in situ phosphine oxide reduction was accomplished by the use of silane and …

A novel bridged [2.2. 1] bicyclic phosphine oxide, devised to circumvent the waste
generation and burdens of purification that are typical of reactions driven by the generation …
