Abstract
The very sterically encumbered secondary chlorophosphines ArTrip2 P (Ph) Cl (ArTrip2 = C6 H3 - 2, 6 (C6 H2 - 2, 4, 6 - Pri3)) and ArMes2 P (Ph) Cl (ArMes2 = C6 H3 - 2, 6 (C6 H2 - 2, 4, 6 - Me3)) were prepared from the respective aryllithium precursors and PhPCl2. Subsequent reduction of the chlorophosphines with Li[AlH4] yielded the corresponding phosphines ArylP(Ph)H in high yield; these afforded the lithium salts ArylP(Ph)Li upon treatment with nBuLi, and the synthesis and structural characterization of the monomeric terphenyl phosphide {[ArMes2 P (Ph)] Li (THF)2} are described. Reaction of two equivalents of the lithium phosphide with SnCl2 afforded a rare example of a monomeric Sn(II)-diphosphide, [ArMes2 P (Ph)]2 Sn.
