The Perkow reaction reacts a trialkyl compound containing one form of this element with a haloketone and is useful in making effective donor compounds of this element.
The Perkow reaction reacts a trialkyl compound containing one form of this element with a haloketone and is useful in making effective donor compounds of this element. A sulfide of this element is used in the creation of Lawesson's reagent, a compound important to thiation reactions. Overexposure to this element and some of its compounds may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. When this element in the pure form is burned in sufficient oxygen, it forms a compound whose common name derives from the empirical formula, and therefore identifies it as this element's pentoxide. With indium, it forms a semiconductor used in high frequency applications. Salts containing this element can be reacted with alkyl halides to form ylides important to the Wittig reaction. For 10 points, identify this reactive element with a highly pyrophoric white allotrope.
