37. A synthetic equivalent of dihydrogenphosphide has been generated in situ in DMSO by reaction with KOH; in that case it is assumed that the deprotonation is facilitated through absorption, by excess KOH, of the water that is produced in the reaction: Jolly, W. L. Inorg. Synth. 1968, 11, 124-126.
38. 2 should prove to be of use in other areas of phosphorus chemistry. A reviewer suggested that, for preparation of potassium phthaloylphosphides, commercially available potassium tert-butoxide solution be used in preference to generation of the potassium tert-alkoxide by reaction of potassium metal with the alcohol.
39. It is assumed that the actual phosphine pressure does not reach the upper limit calculated from the free volume of the reaction vessel, since phosphine has significant solubility in organic solvents: Greenwood, N.
