Environmentally friendly strategy for the direct conversion of sodium hypophosphite into organophosphorus compounds

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Sodium hypophosphite (NaH 2 PO 2 ) stands out as a green, safe, stable, and cost-effective phosphorus source, presenting itself as one of the promising substitutes for traditional phosphorus trichloride (PCl 3 ). Its distinctive structure allows for the conversion of the two phosphine hydrogen bonds within its molecule into new functional groups through reactions, while the phosphate structure can be transformed into phosphonic acid or phosphonate groups. This review delineates environmentally benign NaH 2 PO 2 appear to be the potential surrogates to PCl 3 in perspective and the utilization as a phosphorus source in synthesizing phosphorus compounds over recent decades. Sodium hypophosphate (NaH 2 PO 2 ) is considered a potential substitute for traditional phosphorus trichloride (PCl 3 ). This perspective describes the application of sodium hypophosphite as a phosphorous source in the synthesis of phosphorous compounds in recent decades.
