Synthesis of functional 1,4-diphosphaindenes and their related anions
Abstract
Treatment of a 1-zircona-4-phosphaindene complex with PBr3 affords a 1-bromo-1,4-diphosphaindene, which can be used as a convenient precursor for the preparation of the related 1,4-diphosphaindenyl mono- and tri-anions and (1R)-functional derivatives.
