Abstract
Iodine mediates a reduction of phosphine oxides (sulfides) to phosphines using phosphonic acid under solvent-free conditions. Both tertiary monophosphine oxides and bis-phosphine oxides readily produce monodentate and bidentate phosphines, respectively, in good yields and in case of (R)-(+)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl dioxide without racemization.
