The triaryl phosphines 1 - 3, 6 and 7 were obtained in excellent yield (Table 1) and<br />

by direct crystallization of the crude reaction product. However, tris(1-naphthyl)phosphine<br />

(4) [83] had to be crystallized several times to afford an analytically pure product. As a matter<br />

of fact, under the usual reaction conditions, 1 H NMR analysis of the crude reaction mixture<br />

revealed the presence of ethylbis(1-naphthyl)phosphinite (5) stemming from incomplete<br />

substitution at the phosphorus center. Increased reaction times in refluxing tetrahydrofuran<br />
