Triphenylphosphite
Recent Literature
A dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI)-catalyzed oxotransfer allows a chemoselective
deoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides in the presence of P(OPh)3 as
the stoichiometric reductant.

The combination of Re2O7 as catalyst and triphenyl
phosphite as a reductant enables the deoxygenation of unactivated aliphatic
epoxides to alkenes. The reaction proceeds stereospecifically with variously
substituted epoxides under neutral conditions and tolerates various functional
groups.
