Reactions of tri-p-substituted triarylphosphine sulphides with 3-methylpyridazine 2-oxide, under photolysis, and with 2-methyl-3-p-nitrophenyloxaziridine both give the corresponding phosphine oxides.A detailed study and comparison of the two reactions shows that they are mechanistically quite distinct and that it is unlikely that the active oxygenating species generated by photolysis of the N-oxide, which attacks the phosphine sulphides, is an oxaziridine.The evidence presented suggests that this species may in fact be 'oxene'.
