Arsines reactions with

Methylarsine, trifluoromethylarsine, and bis(trifluoromethyl)arsine [371-74-4] C2HAsF, are gases at room temperature all other primary and secondary arsines are liquids or solids. These compounds are extremely sensitive to oxygen, and ia some cases are spontaneously inflammable ia air (45). They readily undergo addition reactions with alkenes (51), alkynes (52), aldehydes (qv) (53), ketones (qv) (54), isocyanates (55), and a2o compounds (56). They also react with diborane (43) and a variety of other Lewis acids. Alkyl haUdes react with primary and secondary arsiaes to yield quaternary arsenic compounds (57). 

The Bart reaction is successful with a wide variety of aromatic and heterocycHc amines. A variation in which an aromatic amine, in the presence of arsenic trichloride, is dia2oti2ed in an organic solvent (the ScheUer reaction) has also found wide appHcation. Both arsonic and arsinic acids can be prepared by the ScheUer reaction which often gives better yields than the Bart reaction with electron-attracting substituents on the aromatic ring. For the commercial preparation of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid [98-50-0] (arsaniUc acid), C HgAsNO, and 4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid [98-14-6] C H AsO, the Bnchamp reaction is used ... 

Both arsonic and arsinic acids give precipitates with many metal ions, a property which has found considerable use in analytical chemistry. Of particular importance are certain a2o dyes (qv) containing both arsonic and sulfonic acid groups which give specific color reactions with a wide variety of transition, lanthanide, and actinide metal ions. One of the best known of these dyes is... 

Trimethylarsine gives a 98% yield of trimethylarsine difluoride when treated with xenon difluoride [102] in fluorotrichloromelhane. and tnsfpentafluorophen-yl)arsine gives a 94% yield of tris(pentafluornphenyl)arsme difluoride after reaction with dilute fluorine in fluorotnchloromethane at 0 C [106] Other trivalent arsenic compounds have also been fluorinated with xenon difluoride [103] In addition, arsines have been oxidatively fluorinated by iodine pentafluoride [107] or electrochemically in 26-34% yield [108]... 

Reaction of adsorbed inhibitors In some cases, the adsorbed corrosion inhibitor may react, usually by electro-chemical reduction, to form a product which may also be inhibitive. Inhibition due to the added substance has been termed primary inhibition and that due to the reaction product secondary inhibition " . In such cases, the inhibitive efficiency may increase or decrease with time according to whether the secondary inhibition is more or less effective than the primary inhibition. Some examples of inhibitors which react to give secondary inhibition are the following. Sulphoxides can be reduced to sulphides, which are more efficient inhibitorsQuaternary phosphonium and arsonium compounds can be reduced to the corresponding phosphine or arsine compounds, with little change in inhibitive efficiency . Acetylene compounds can undergo reduction followed by polymerisation to form a multimolecular protective film . Thioureas can be reduced to produce HS ions, which may act as stimulators of... 

Similarly, the reaction of AsPha, under H2, on Ni surfaces can be monitored by measuring the variation of the arsine concentration with time at various temperatures [139]. In the presence of Ni/Al203 (alumina 250m /g Ni loading 25wt%, average diameter of the metallic particles 6nm 18% of dispersion) and H2 (12 bars), AsPha concentration decreases (Fig. 8a), and... 

If reactive materials have been released, then care must be taken to compensate for the heat generated by their reaction with water. Take appropriate actions to disperse the arsine vapors that will be generated. 

The kinetics of the thermally induced homogeneous decomposition of phosphine (PH3) have not yet been studied. The species PH2, PH and P2 are formed on flash photolysis of PH3 and could be identified by their absorption spectra63. There are proposals as to the mechanism of the consecutive process after the photochemical primary step, but nothing is known about the kinetic parameters of these reactions. With arsine and antimony hydride only the heterogeneous decomposition has been studied64,65. 

Several examples have been reported of rearrangements of arsine oxides (51) to esters, initiated by alkyl halides.42 43 Reactions of tertiary arsine oxides with thiols (52) cause deoxygenation.44... 

The reaction of toluene solutions of indium trichloride and tris(trimethylsilyl)arsine resulted in the formation of a very fine dark-brown powder subsequently annealed up to 400°C to drive to completion the elimination of trimethyl-silyl-chloride. Nanocrystalline InAs was obtained. Similar reactions with InBr3 and Inl3 and P compounds have been discussed. Previously a similar reaction was described by Uchida et al. (1993) (reaction of indium acetylacetonate with tris(trimethylsilyl)arsine in refluxing triglyme). Subsequently the reaction with InCl3 was used by Guzelian et al. (1996) in the preparation of nano-crystal quantum dots. They compared different preparation methods and techniques useful to isolate specific size distributions. 

The behaviour of the phosphine complex PtBr2(ap)2 towards bromination is in marked contrast to that of PtBr2(oA)2 (the related arsine complex). Whilst the arsine complex gives platinum(IV) species on reaction with one equivalent of bromine, the phosphine complex gives the chelate compound PtBr2 (ap), and, presumably, CH2=CH CH2 ... 

A masked allylic boron unit can be revealed through a transition-metal-catalyzed borylation reaction. For example, a one-pot borylation/allylation tandem process based on the borylation of various ketone-containing allylic acetates has been developed. The intramolecular allylboration step is very slow in DMSO, which is the usual solvent for these borylations of allylic acetates (see Eq. 33). The use of a non-coordinating solvent like toluene is more suitable for the overall process provided that an arsine or phosphine ligand is added to stabilize the active Pd(0) species during the borylation reaction. With cyclic ketones such as 136, the intramolecular allylation provides cis-fused bicyclic products in agreement with the involvement of the usual chairlike transition structure, 137 (Eq. 102). 

Ferrostlicons are compds prepd by fusing iron and silica in an electric furnace at high temps. Some of the high silicon varieties, particularly 50/50 compd, are expl and are dangerous to transport and to handle. FeSi is of unknown toxicity. Moisture, steam, or water decompose it and impurities liberate phosphine and arsine with water. Expl and fire hazards are considered moderate and arise from the reaction with water. For shipping purposes FeSi with Sx 30—70% is considered a flammable solid and must carry yellow labels. If the Si is less than 30 or more than 70%, the material is not considered hazardous... 

The complex reacts readily with ligands such as tertiary phosphines, phosphites, or arsines to give substitution of a CO ligand on the cobalt atom. With CO, however, the complex reacts to give 2-phenylindazolone and 3-phenyl-2,4 lif, 3f/)-quinazolinedione,15 whereas the reaction with CO and hexafluoro-2-butyne affords an anilinoquinoline, probably via an intermediate complex in which the alkyne and CO have inserted into the Co—C bond.16... 

Reaction with CS2 is general for tris(dialkylamino)arsines and the tris(dialkyldithiocarbamidato)arsanes may be used for characterization. 

As mentioned in Chapter II, many metallic arsenides are found in Nature. Arsenic combines directly with most metals to form stable compounds, those of the heavy metals being the most stable. The latter may be obtained by allowing an aqueous solution of a salt of the appropriate metal to drop into an atmosphere of arsine, air being completely absent, and the vessel continually shaken.1 Precipitation by passing arsine into the salt solution is not satisfactory as, in the case of copper, silver, gold, mercury and lead, a secondary reaction with the excess of metallic ions occurs ...
