Preparative synthesis of primary vinylphosphines by chemoselective reduction of the corresponding vinylphosponates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(89)80084-1

Primary vinylphosphines which were described as highly polymerisable compounds in the literature are prepared on gram scale in one step by a chemoselective reduction of the corresponding vinylphosphonates.They exhibit a surprising stability.
