AI Thread Summary
To introduce phosphorus into a compound during synthesis, one effective method is to utilize the first step of a Wittig reaction, which involves creating a phosphorus ylide. This approach allows for the incorporation of phosphorus into organic compounds. Additionally, the Arbuzov reaction is another relevant method for introducing phosphorus, particularly in the context of synthesizing esters where phosphorus serves as the central atom instead of carbon. These reactions provide viable pathways for integrating phosphorus into desired chemical structures.

What is the best way to introduce phosphorus into a compound your are trying to synthesis?


btw I want to add to be an "ester" but instead of the carbon atom being the centeral atom I want it to be P

I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but one way to introduce Phos. to certain types of organic compounds is doing the 1st step of a Wittig reaction to create the phosphorous ylide.
 
Cool. Thanks
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
