Electrocatalytic eco-efficient functionalization of white phosphorus

The novel eco-efficient methods to transform white phosphorus into the esters of phosphoric, phosphorous and phosphonic acids, tertiary phosphines and other organophosphorus compounds under conditions of electrochemical catalysis were elaborated. The mechanism of these processes was investigated using the method of cyclic voltammetry and preparative electrolysis.

The potentialities of the electrochemical methods for organophosphorous compounds preparation from white phosphorous were shown.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
