One-Step Preparation of 1-Alkenyltriphenylphosphonium Perchlorates by Electrochemical Oxidation of Triphenylphosphine in the Presence of Alkenes.

Electrochemical oxidation of triphenylphosphine in dichloromethane at a graphite anode in the presence of olefins has been shown to be a convenient method for the preparation of 1-alkenyltriphenylphosphonium perchlorates under mild conditions.
