Abstract
An analysis was undertaken to determine if tributylphosphine (Bu3P) is comparable to P-(dimethylamino)-pyridine (DMAP) in catalytic action. Bu3P catalysis of various electrophiles was also carried out. The counterion in the potential phosphonium intermediate and the nature of electrophilic reactant influences phosphine catalysis. DMAP catalyzes a wide range of electrophiles, making Bu3P a more flexible catalyst, as it can act as a nucleophilic catalyst and base.
