## Abstract The reductive cleavage of phenylalkylphosphines Ph~2~PR, PhPR~2~ (R = Bu, iPr) with Na/NH~3~ is unselective: both phenyl and alkyl groups can be cleaved and Birch reduction may occur. Reaction of Ph~2~tBuP gives a high yield of diphenylphosphide. Polar groups (CO~2~Na, SO~3~,Na) at the

## Abstract The reduction of thiophosphorus acid chlorides with alkali metals (Na, K) in liq. NH~3~/THF solution, potassium anthracenide, and potassium naphthalenide was investigated. It was found that these types of phosphorus compounds easily undergo reduction to >PS^−^ anions. It was also demon
Absmcf: 1,2-Dihalocyclop%enes on reaction with alkali metals and chlomlrimethylsilane in hydmcarbon or ether solvents produce silylatcd I-pentynes by ring opening. Sodium metal and hydrwarbon solvents favour the cleavage most. Different mechanistic aspxts are considered.
