The reaction of triphenylarsine oxide with ethyl Iodo-acetate leading to triphenyl (carboethoxy)methylarsonium triiodide

Abstract

New data are presented for some processes accompaning "retro-Arbuzov" reaction of tertiary arsine oxides with halogen-containing reagents. Triphenyl (carboethoxy)methylarsonium triiodide 10a was obtained in the reaction of triphenylarsine oxide la with excess of ethyl iodoacetate 2a. The structure of 10a was established by X-ray single crystal diffraction. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
