Activation of the CP bond in phosphanylphosphaalkenes (CP–P bond system) in the reaction with nucleophilic reagents: MeLi, nBuLi and tBuLi

Abstract

The performed reactions of (biph)(H)CP–PtBu2 with MeLi, nBuLi lead to substitution of two organic groups on the P-atom and to cleavage of the P–P bond, respectively. In the case of tBuLi, only one group is substituted with reminded P–P bond.

From phosphanylphosphaalkenes to coordination copper and silver polymers containing P–P bonds

“…Thus far, only a few examples showing activation of the CvP bond or oxidation of one of the phosphorus atoms in phosphanylphosphaalkenes have been reported. 33,35 Recently, we leveraged the coordinating properties of phosphanylphosphaalkenes to obtain two types of complexes with group 11 metals. 36 Obtaining such systems is expedient considering the properties and uses of coordination compounds containing metals such as copper, silver, and gold.…”
