Abstract

With the aim of synthesizing novel functionalized derivatives of phosphinine (phosphabenzene), we investigated Diels-Alder approaches to 2-halophosphinines. The reaction of dienes such as 1-isopropenyl-1-cyclohexene and 1-vinylnaphthalene with Cl2P-CHCl2 and triethylamine gave 2-chlorophosphinines, but their substitution pattern was unsuitable for the synthesis of bidentate phosphinine ligands. However, the precursor Cl2P-CHl2 reacted with triethylamine in the presence of 1,3-butadiene or its 2,3-dimethyl derivative to furnish 2-iodophosphinines 5 which, directly or after formation of their pentacarbonyltungsten complexes, underwent a number of interesting functionalization reactions. Useful for reaction with a number of electrophiles were the organozinc reagent 4,5-dimethyl-2-iodozincophosphinine (26) which could be obtained directly from the corresponding 2-iodophosphinine 5b and zinc either in DMF or in THF/TMEDA, and the pentacarbonyltungsten coordinated 2-lithio derivative 36.
