Numerous studies concerning the electroreduction of oxygen-containing compounds have been reported so far and our knowledge in this field is far from complete. However, previous studies in this area until 1990, have been well summarized in the literature [1-3]. Thus, this chapter mainly deals with studies after 1990 along with some typical examples reported until 1990. In addition, many studies in this field have been carried out from both the synthetic and mechanistic point of view however, the main contents of this chapter focus on the modern synthetic reactions using electrochemical reduction.

The author hopes that this chapter has convinced the readers of the value of homogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds and for organo-heteroatom compounds in a broader sense. Hydrosilylation and hydroboration are indispensable modern synthetic reactions in this category. The H-P addition reactions herein described joins them as a third member. Although this chapter does not cover, the addition reactions of the S-P and Se-P bonds in thiophosphates [39] and selenophosphates [40] to alkynes also proceed in the presence of transition metal catalysts. In view of the wide use of phosphorus compounds, the new procedures will find practical applications. 

In chapter 2, M. Tanaka summarizes the current state of the art of the homogeneous catalysis of H-P bond addition reactions, thus showing that as hydro-silylation and hydroboration, the H-P addition reactions are among the indispensable modern synthetic reactions needed by researchers in organic and main group element chemistry.
