Phosphaalkenes (
Diels-Alder reactions
.
The first phosphaalkene discovered was a
keto-enol tautomerism akin a Brook rearrangement
:
In the same year
The Becker method is used in the synthesis of the phosphorus pendant of Poly(p-phenylene vinylene):[3]
The reduction or oxidation of phosphaalkenes can produce radical phosphorus ions.
