Abstract

The reactions of a variety of 1-X-3,4-dimethyl-Δ3-phospholens (where X = Br, Me, Ph, NMe2, SEt, H, and OR) with diethyl peroxide are described. The rates of reaction show a broad correlation with the 31P n.m.r. chemical shifts of the starting phospholens, with low field shifts corresponding to the highest reactivity. The results are discussed in terms of the biphilic mechanism for the reaction of trico-ordinate phosphorus compounds with weak σ-bonds.
