Phenylation of Organic Derivatives of Mercury, Silicon, Tin, and Bismuth with Pentaphenylantimony and Pentaphenylphosphorus

摘要

Pentaphenylantitimony and -phosphorus react with arylmercury chlorides in toluene at room temperature to give diaryl derivatives of mercury in yields of up to 95%. The reactions of pentaphenylantimony and -phosphorus with silicon and tin halides involve arylation of the latter in yields of up to 79%. The products of the reaction of pentaphenylphosphorus with triphenylbismuth dihalides are tetraphenylphosphorus halides, triphenylbismuth, and halobenzene.
