A novel nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction is described in which the methoxy group of 1-methoxy-2-(diphenylphosphinyl)-naphthalene is readily replaced with Grignard reagents, alkoxides, and amides. Reduction of the resulting phosphine oxides provides a convenient route to diphenyl(1-substituted-2-naphthyl)phosphines.
