Three-component reactions with aldehydes, trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or iodide, and triphenylphosphine (TPP) yield the title compounds. The X-ray structure of the cationic part of a representative product, the (4-methylphenyl)[(trimethylsiloxy) methyl]TPP+, shows an interesting lengthening of the P+-C(α) bond compared with reported values for methyl(TPP)+ and benzyl(TPP)+ cations (C(α) represents the P-bonded carbon atom of the various alkyl groups). The behavior of the title compounds towards charged nucleophilic reagents and a powerful electrophile (trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride) is similar to that of analogous pyridinium salts.
