Popis: The phosphorus centers in [Cu{1,2-C6H4(PH2)2}2]CF3SO3 are readily methylated by methyl iodide in the presence of 4 or 8 equiv potassium tert-butoxide to give 1,2-phenylenebis (methylphosphine) or 1,2-phenylenebis(dimethylphosphine), respectively, after displacement from the metal with cyanide. Under similar conditions with 8 equiv of base, 1,4-dibromobutance and 1,5-dibromopentane react to give respectively 1,2-phenylenebis (phospholane) and 1,2-phenylenebis (phosphorinane). 1,3-Dibromopropane, however, reacts with the complex under the basic conditions to give a variety of phosphines after displacement from the metal, including (R*, R*)-(±)/(R*, S*)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiphosphepine, (R*,S*)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-bis (prop-1-enyl)-1H-1,5- benzodiphosphepine, (R*,S*)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-bis (prop-2-enyl)-1H-1,5-benzodiphosphepine, and the putative cage and macrocyclic dimers of 1,2-phenylenebis (phosphetane). The crystal structure of anti-[Ni {(R*, S*)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5 bis (prop-1-eny...
