Abstract
The phosphaethylene (I) reacts with two equivalents of tert-butyllithium (II) at lower temperatures to form a greenish solution of the Li salt (III) which is trapped with methyl iodide (IV) to yield the methyl compound (V).
ChemInform Abstract
The phosphaethylene (I) reacts with two equivalents of tert-butyllithium (II) at lower temperatures to form a greenish solution of the Li salt (III) which is trapped with methyl iodide (IV) to yield the methyl compound (V). When the solution of (III) is warmed up to room temperature, the color changes to purple, and the phosphaalkyne (VII) is formed via the intermediate (VI) which is a P analogue of nitriles.
