<p>A primary phosphine or a secondary phosphine is reacted with an ester compound selected from the group consisting of: a phosphate triester; a phosphonate diester; a sulfate diester; and a sulfonate ester; to form a phosphonium salt of formula (VII) wherein each of RQ, RX, RY, and R Z is independently hydrocarbyl and X- is a phosphate, phosphonate, sulfate, or sulfonate. These phosphonium salts may find utility in a wide range of applications, including as surfactants, as polar solvents (ionic liquids), as antimicrobial agents, and as a component of spinning finish in polyamide fibre processing.</p> |
