BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)PEROXIDE AS A VERSATILE REAGENT FOR SELECTIVE GENERATION OF OXYPHOSPHORYL GROUP

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)94999-2

Bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide, Me3SiOOSiMe3, (BSPO) oxidizes phosphines and phosphites to respective oxyphosphoryl derivatives with retention of the configuration at the phosphorus atom.It also converts thiophosphoryl function to oxyphosphoryl function with inversion of the configuration at phosphorus.High yields and high stereoselectivities of these processes render them useful for the synthetic application.
