Abstract
TMDS has been found to be an efficient hydride source for the reduction of tertiary and secondary phosphine oxides using a catalytic amount of Ti(Oi-Pr)4. All classes of tertiary phosphine oxides, such as triaryl, trialkyl, and diphosphine, were effectively reduced. Key words
phosphorus - reductions - titanium - hydrosiloxane - phosphine oxides
