3 The Alkaline Decomposition of Quaternary<br />

Tetraalkylphosphonium Salts<br />

3.1 Preparation of Trialkyl Phosphines and Corresponding<br />

Trivalent Phosphorus Compounds<br />

81<br />

The trivalent phosphorus compounds described below are common intermediates in the<br />

preparation of most of the phosphine oxides and phosphonium salts. Since all of those<br />

compounds were highly pyrophoric, their preparation was carried out following Schlenk<br />
