Abstract: Red phosphorus reacts with 4-tert-butoxystyrene in KOH/DMSO system to afford (depending on the reaction conditions) tris(4-tert-but- oxyphenylethyl)phosphine oxide (48% yield) and/or 4-tert-butoxyphenylethylphosphinic acid (30% yield). The treatment of these products with aqueous HCl (45°C, 5min) quantitatively delivers tris[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphine oxide and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl-phosphinic acid.
