“…Dialkyl phosphites (DAPIs), (RO) 2 P(O)H, are essential building blocks in the production of various industrial products, such as plastic flame retardants, metal extractants, and fine chemical products like pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates (Scheme a). , Due to its remarkable importance in the field of organophosphorus synthesis, developing a new strategy to replace traditional PCl 3 -based methods is crucial due to the hazardous and corrosive nature of PCl 3 , which is produced by the chlorination of white phosphorus (P 4 ) with dangerous and toxic molecular chlorine (Scheme b). − Chemists have been studying the direct transformation of P 4 into useful P 1 -containing products for several decades. − Despite significant academic interest in P 4 activation by metal complexes, , C(sp 2 )–Li reagents, , and electrochemistry, the direct conversion of white phosphorus to industrially useful organic phosphorus compounds remains a significant challenge. − …”
