10. 4 in diethyl ether as the reagent, but no reaction is observed when using HCl in diethyl ether. Attempts to use other electrophiles, e.g. by reaction of 4 with MeOTf, resulted in a multitude of products whose identity we have not been able to discern.
11. This reaction must proceed by broadside attack at the cationic phosphorus center.
