Electrophilic ring-opening of [(RP)nAs]− anions; a simple route to functionalised neutral phosphines of the type [(ButP)(ButRP)2]
Abstract
Ring opening of the cyclic
[(ButP)3As]− anion results from
reactions with electrophiles (RX = H2O, MeI,
CH2CHCH2I, PhCH2Br), providing a
simple and general approach to triphosphine ligands of the type
[(ButP)(ButRP)2].
