Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) have gained tremendous interest in the past decades due to their wide applications ranging from synthetic chemistry to materials and biological sciences. We describe herein a practical and versatile approach for the transformation of white phosphorus (P-4) into useful OPCs with high P atom economy via a key bridging anion [P(CN)(2)](-). This anion can be prepared on a gram scale directly from P-4 through an electrochemical process. A variety of OPCs involving phosphinidenes, cyclophosphanes, and phospholides have been made readily accessible from P-4 in a two-step manner. Our approach has a significant impact on the future preparation of OPCs in laboratory and industrial settings.
