Nucleophilic arylation with tetraarylphosphonium salts

Carbon based nucleophiles often are synthetically limited by the high basicity/reactivity of the starting materials. Here, the authors show that tetraarylphosphonium salts can be induced to act as C-aryl nucleophiles for the addition to carbonyls and imines.
