Abstract

6 prompted to reinvestigate the reaction of 2 with Mg in THF. We find that this is not a straightforward reaction. 31P ('H} peaks are detectable at+ 494 and-64 ppm. In proton- coupled experiments the+ 494-ppm peak remained a singlet, while the one at-64 ppm became a six-line AA'XX'pattern. The-64-ppm peak, therefore, cannot correspond to the P= P bonded compound, 3. Confirmation that the 31P chemical shift of 3 is, in fact,+ 494 ppm ...
