Hj. Cristau et al., SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF NEW 1,1-DIPHENYL-2,5-DIHYDROPHOSPHOLIUM SALTS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 111(1-4), 1996, pp. 762-762
We describe the first synthesis of new 1,1-diphenyl-2,5-dihydrophospho
lium salts of type 1, These salts allow the access to interesting alka
dienyl phosphine oxides 3 and trienes 4. Unfortunately we could not ob
tain the strong nucleophilic diylide 5.
