description Chapter 1 This chapter is concerned with some reactions of diphenylvinylphosphine oxide (1). Phosphine oxfide (1) is known to undergo nucleophilic additions analogous to the Michael reaction. Triphenylvinylphosphonium bromide also undergoes a number of nucleophilic additions, including the Schweizer reaction. Thus, Triphenylvinylphosphonium bromide, upon treatment with the sodium salts of benzoin or salicylaldehyde, yields 2,3-diphenyl 2,5-dihydrofuran and 3,4-chromene, respectively. An attempt to extend the Schweizer reaction to phosphine oxide (1) was not not successful. <p> Several possible synthetic routes to epoxyvinyldiphenylphosphine oxide (2) have been explored.</p> <p></p> <p>Phosphine oxide (1) was found to be inert to several epoxidising conditions, for example, unbuffed trifluorperoxide/Triton B in methanol. Phosphine oxide (1) was converted to bis-(2-diphenylphosphinylethyl)peroxide (3) in 79% yield, by treatment with alkaline hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide (3) is usually stable. Reaction of (3) with lithium aluminium hydride gave 2-hydroxyethyl diphenylphosphine oxide (4) in 84% yield.</p> <p> Phosphine oxide (1) was converted to 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphinyl)ethane (5) upon treatment with aqueous methanolic sodium hydroxide, in 96% yield. Phsophine oxide (5) had also previously been obtained by the reaction of triphenylvinylphosphonium bromide with sodium hydroxide. Phosphine oxide (5) was alos isolated in 19% yield from the treatment of phosphine oxide (4) with two mole equivalents of butyllithium, and subsequent treatment with bromine (Scheme 1).</p> <p></p> Scheme 1 <p>On the basis of the spectroscopic properties of phosphine oxide (1), it is considered that there is little congugation between the C=C and hte P=O groups.
