Bis(mesitoyl)phosphinic acid: photo-triggered release of metaphosphorous acid in solution.
Chem Commun (Camb), 52(64):9917-20.
Bis(mesitoyl)phosphinic acid and its sodium salt display a unique photo-induced reactivity: both derivatives stepwise release two mesitoyl radicals and, remarkably, metaphosphorous acid (previously postulated as transient species in the gas phase), providing a new phosphorus-based reagent.
