Synthesis of 3-stannyl and 3-silyl propargyl phosphanes and the formation of a phosphinoallene

Abstract

The group 14 chloropropargyls R3EC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CCH2Cl (R3E = nBu3Sn, Ph3Sn, Me2PhSi, iPr3Si, nPr3Si, nBu3Si), obtained by a modified literature procedure, react with LiPPh2 to afford the novel propargyl phosphanes Ph2PCH2C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CER3 in high yield, as viscous oils; (Me3Si)2PCH2C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiPhMe2 is similarly obtained from LiP(SiMe3)2. In contrast, the reaction of PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CCH2MgCl with ClP(NEt2)2 fails to produce a comparable propargyl phosphane, but generates preferentially (>70%) the novel phosphinoallene (Et2N)2PC(Ph)[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2, which is characterised spectroscopically, and through its reaction with HCl. The coordination chemistry of representative phosphanes is explored with respect to platinum and palladium for the first time.
