2‐Arsonohexanoic acid is decomposed during its attempted reduction to 2‐arsenosohexanoic acid by triphenylphosphine in the presence of a catalytic amount of iodine. When ascorbic acid is substituted for the triphenylphosphine, hexanoic acid is obtained, implying that the arscorbic acid acts as a hydride donor. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
