[edit] Industrial synthesis.

The industrial synthesis apparently involves the Friedel-Crafts reaction between phosphorus trichloride and benzene.

Apparently? --Davidknippers 22:32, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

YES! Every reactive chloride can undergo this reaction. Where I would be carefull to call it Friedel-Crafts reaction.--Stone 22:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reaction of Ph3P with Se

Ph3P reacts with selenium, even rapidly (i.e. elemental selenium in a solution of Ph3P in toluene at 80°C).


[edit] European name

Is it true that PPh3 is known as triphenylphosphAne in Europe? I'm a UK based chemist and have never seen it written this way, rather always triphenylphosphIne. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.0.96.1 (talk) 12:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
