Abstract

A 1∶ 1 addition of Ph2PCl to an ethereal solution of C2F5Li (formed from the reaction of BuLi with C2F5Cl) yields Ph2P (C2F5)(abbreviated pfepp)(1). The introduction of a fluoroethyl group results in a phosphine with electronic characteristics that approximate phosphites, bridging the electronic gap between traditional donor phosphine ligands and more electrophilic phosphine ligands like PhP (C2F5) 2 (2). The pfepp ligand 1 is isolated ...
