title: Bismuth Perfluoroalkylphosphinates: New Catalysts for Application in Organic Syntheses.
abstract: Commercially available BiPh3was treated with perfluoroalkylphosphinic acids [for example, (C2F5)2P(O)OH] to generate novel, highly Lewis acidic bismuth(III) perfluoroalkylphosphinates of the type PhxBi[RF2PO2]3-x(x=0, 1, 2) (RF=-C2F5, -C4F9). The first bismuth(V) perfluoroalkylphosphinate, Ph3Bi[(C2F5)2PO2]2, was synthesized from Ph3BiCl2and Ag[(C2F5)2PO2]. Examples for the successful application of the catalytically active bismuth(III) and bismuth(V) phosphinates in carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation, Diels-Alder, Strecker and Mannich reaction, are presented.
