Abstract An efficient and practical approach to phosphonium salts has been developed. By the reaction of phosphines and different acid sources with orthoformates in one-step operation, the process allowed rapid access to phosphonium salts with diverse counterions in high yield after the purification by recrystallization. The flame retardant performance in PC has also been examined by blending several phosphonium salts to PC respectively. Phosphonium phosphates showed excellent flame retardancy in PC with only 2 phr blending.
