A new heterogeneous phosphinite, 4-aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite (APDPP), is prepared and used for the efficient conversion of alcohols, trimethylsilyl ethers, and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to their corresponding bromides, iodides, and chlorides in the presence of molecular halogens or N-halosuccinimides. The amino group in this phosphinite acts as an acid scavenger and removes the produced acid. A simple filtration easily removes the phosphinate by-product.Key words: 4-aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite, alcohol, trimethylsilyl ether, tetrahydropyranyl ether, alkyl halide.
