Abstract

The reaction of the terminal phosphinidene complex PhPW(CO)5 with cyclohexene, 1,4-cyclohexadienes, and 1,3-cyclohexadiene was investigated. In all cases a mixture of syn- and anti-phosphiranes is obtained. The syn-vinylphosphirane resulting from reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene rearranges at 110 °C to a phospholene, whereas the anti-isomer decomposes. The formation of syn- and anti-phosphiranes is discussed in terms of kinetic versus thermodynamic control.
