Reaction Steps

By way of example, the preparation of tri-tert-butylphosphine is described in Chem. Ber., 100(2), 692-3 (1967). Tertiary butyl magnesium chloride is first prepared from magnesium metal and t-butyl chloride, then this is allowed to react with PCl3 to form di-tert-butylchlorophosphine. This product is then treated with tert-butyl lithium to yield tri-tert-butyl phosphine.
