Abstract

(2, 2′-Biphenylylene) phenylphosphine oxide (3) was prepared simply by the reaction of triphenylphosphine oxide (1) with phenyllithium and subsequently with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid. The oxide 3 reacted with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and then with several electrophiles to afford regiospecifically ortho-substituted compounds in moderate yields, which were converted to unsymmetrical 2-and 2, 3′-substituted 1, 1′- ...
