The kinetics of the reactions of tributylphosphine with allenic and olefinic Michael acceptors in dichloromethane at 20 °C was followed by photometric and NMR spectroscopic methods. Combination with DFT-calculated methyl anion affinities revealed the relevance of retroaddition barriers in phosphine-catalysed reactions when mixtures of allenic and olefinic substrates are used.
