Silicaphosphine (Silphos), [P(Cl)3−n(SiO2)n] is a new
heterogeneous reagent that converts alcohols and thiols to their corresponding
bromides and iodides in the presence of molecular halogen in refluxing CH3CN
in high to quantitative yields. Separation of the Silphos oxide byproduct can be
achieved by a simple filtration.
