4-Aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite (APDPP), a new heterogeneous and acid scavenger phosphinite — Conversion of alcohols, trimethylsilyl, and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to alkyl halides with halogens or <i>N</i>-halosuccinimides
conversion of alcohols, trimethylsilyl ethers, and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to their corresponding bromides, iodides, and chlorides in the presence of molecular halogens or N-halosuccinimides. The amino group in this phosphinite acts as an acid scavenger and removes the produced acid. A simple filtration easily removes the phosphinate by-product.Key words: 4-aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite, alcohol, trimethylsilyl
