Abstract

The base-catalysed addition of diphenylphosphine to the diarylethynes RC CR′(R= R′= 2-pyridyl 1; R= R′= 3-pyridyl 2; R= 2-pyridyl, R′= 3-pyridyl 3; R= phenyl, R′= 2-pyridyl 4, 3-pyridyl 5, 2-pyrimidyl 6) yield diphosphines of general formula Ph2PCH (R) CH (R′) PPh2 together with alkene by-products Ph2PC (R) CHR′ and HC (R) C (R′) PPh2 in all cases except 1. Selected P, P′-coordinated M (CO) 4 complexes (M= Mo, W) of the ...
