Abstract

Highly strained methylenephosphiranes are formed in the reaction of the new electrophilic phosphinidene complex [iPr(2)N-P=Fe(CO)(4)] with allenes. Remarkably, reaction with diallenes at 0 degrees C also leads to a phosphirane, which rearranges upon warming to room temperature to a bis-isopropylidenephospholene (see scheme).
