Abstract
Abstract An improved synthesis of trimethylphosphine from the reaction of phosphorus trichloride with methyl lithium is presented. Yields of 60 per cent are obtained at −78°. This synthesis employs a simplified procedure to give higher yields than are realized with the methyl Grignard reagents.
