Abstract
The in-situ formation at -30°C of the electrophilic phosphinidene complex (i)Pr2NPFe(CO)4, resulting from reaction of dichlorophosphine (i)Pr2NPCl2 with Na2Fe(CO)4 (Collman's reagent), was demonstrated by trapping reactions with various alkynes. The resulting phosphirenes were obtained in good yields. The reactivity of (i)Pr2NPFe(CO)4 is less than that of PhPW(CO)5, which is, however, generated at much higher temperatures. The stabilization of (i)Pr2NPFe(CO)4 in the reaction medium is discussed.
