Abstract
The formation of P(III)N bonds is made difficult by the ease of which the P(III) is oxidized to P(V). A suitable N nucleophile must be chosen so that oxidation of the P atom is avoided. Lithium Nitride was chosen as the nucleophile as the N is in its most reduced form. In this study, lithium nitride was reacted with phosphine chlorides with a variety of R groups to asses their reactivity towards the lithium nitride.
