. Can. J. Chem. 54, 2706Chem. 54, (1976.The syntheses of P-N bonded pyrrolyl-and 2,5-dimethylpyrrolylphosphines +,P(py),-, and +ZP(Mezpy)3-z (x = 0-2) and the oxy derivatives py3PO and (Mezpy)2P(O)Cl by the reaction of potassium pyrrolide or 2,5-dimethylpyrrolide with an appropriate chlorophosphine or with POC13 are described. Molecular structures were inferred from spectroscopic data. The P-N bonded phosphines are stable to solvolytic attack by water or alcohols and do not undergo insertion reactions with CS2, but they are oxidised by oxygen and suffer nucleophilic displacement of the azole moiety by strong base. The Lewis acid BC13 cleaves the P-N bond and CH31 reacts with only one member, +2P(py), to form a phosphonium salt. Hindered rotation about the P-N bond was detected in the (2,5-dimethylpyrroly1)phosphine series, but not among the corresponding oxy derivatives. The nature of the P-N bond and trends in the basicity of the phosphorus atom are discussed.

Modifications of the chemistry of the P-N bond and of the coordination properties of the phosphorus centre, as compared to dialkylaminophosphine and tris(ary1)phosphine systems, may be expected. In this paper the syntheses and reactions of pyrrolylphosphines are described. A study of metal coordination complexes will be reported later.
