Reactions of halophosphines with conjugated heterodienes

Data on reactions of halophosphines PHal₃, –PHal₂ and >PHal with hetero-1,3-dienes resulting mostly in the formation of phosphorus-containing heterocycles are generalised and systematised. The influence of the nature, the number and positions of heteroatoms (O, N) in the heterodiene system, and of the nature of the substituents at the phosphorus atom on the reaction pathways and mechanisms is analysed. The bibliography includes 155 references.
