Synthesis of a metal-free three-co-ordinate phosphorus(V) hydride and its conversion into a phospha-alkene via reductive hydride shift
Abstract
The reaction of CIP[C(SiMe3)2]2 with PriMgCl affords the phospha-allene HP[
C(SiMe3)2]2, which isomerises to the phospha-alkene, (Me3Si)2CHP
C(SiMe3)2, via a reductive hydride shift.
