Longwitz, Lars; Jopp, Stefan; Werner, Thomas published the artcile< Organocatalytic Chlorination of Alcohols by P(III)/P(V) Redox Cycling>, Name: Triphenylmethanol, the main research area is alkyl chloride preparation organocatalyst alc chlorination.
A catalytic system for the chlorination of alcs. under Appel conditions was developed. Benzotrichloride was used as a cheap and readily available chlorinating agent in combination with trioctylphosphine as the catalyst and phenylsilane as the terminal reductant. The reaction has several advantages over other variants of the Appel reaction, e.g., no addnl. solvent is required and the phosphine reagent was used only in catalytic amounts In total, 27 different primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides were synthesized in yields up to 95%. Under optimized conditions, it was also possible to convert epoxides and an oxetane to the dichlorinated products.
