3-(N,N-Dimethylamino)-1-(dimethylphosphino)propane was synthesised by
the photochemical addition of one equivalent of dimethylphosphine to N
,N-dimethylallylamine. Synthesis of 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)dimethylphosp
hinoethane was achieved by the reaction of tetramethyldiphosphine with
N,N-dimethyl-2-chloroethylamine.
