18. Fluorous phosphines were purchased from Fluorous Technologies, Inc. (www.fluorous.com). D.P.C. holds an equity interest in this company.
19. Errors in these experiments could arise from differences in relaxation times or solubility. A long delay (80 s) was used to minimize errors in relaxation times, while additional solvent was added if visible precipitates appeared. Conversions to products were measured relative to the total integration of the four starting phosphines. See the Supporting Information for more details.
