P–C versus C–H bond cleavage in coordinated bis(dimethylphosphino)methane: controlled access to either phosphinite or functionalized diphosphine complexes
Abstract
Treatment of fac-[Mn(CNPh)(CO)3(dmpm)]ClO4
(1) with C
NPh}]
(4) is obtained after deprotonation and further functionalization of the central carbon atom of the diphosphine.
