“…In these cases, the reagent with P(O)H function was converted to the corresponding anion by a reaction with trimethylaluminum prior to the addition [14][15][16]. Analogously, double deoxygenation of 3-phosphinoxido-1-phenylphospholane 1-oxide provided the bidentate P-ligand LuPhos [22] whose complexation furnished the corresponding five-ring platinum complex [23]. The resulting 3-P O-functionalized-1,2,3,6tetrahydrophosphinine oxides [14][15][16][17] and the corresponding 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrophosphinine oxides (obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the tetrahydro derivatives) [18,19] are valuable species, especially the 3-diphenylphosphinoxido-1-phenyl derivatives, as after double deoxygenation and complexation of the bidentate P-ligands so obtained with dichlorodibenzonitrile platinum, cis-chelate Ptcomplexes may be obtained from them [20,21].…”
