Abstract

Abstract The generation of phosphine PH 3 by alkaline hydrolysis of red phosphorus is realized. The subsequent alkylation of PH 3 by terminal alkenes and alkynes in basic media leading to the corresponding aliphatic and vinylic phosphine derivatives can occur by two- steps or one-pot reaction by a Michael-like reaction mechanism.
