Fig. 1

a Transformation of Ph3P(O) to a variety of organic phosphorus compounds by SD. b A vast amount of Ph3P(O) is produced and discarded as a useless chemical waste. c Costly and dangerous methods for the preparation of organophosphorus compounds. d Selective C-P, C-H and O-P bond cleavage of triphenylphosphine oxide by SD under mild conditions. Condition a: 1 and SD in THF at 25 °C; Condition b: SD/PhCl then 1 at 25 °C, THF; Condition c: SD/PhCl, 1, then SD at 25 °C, THF.
