A RAPID COBALT CARBONYL MEDIATED CLEAVAGE OF BOTH PHOSPHORUS CARBON BONDS IN BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)METHANE UNDER VERY MILD CONDITIONS - EXTRUSION OF METHYLENE AS KETENE
S. Ahmed et al., A RAPID COBALT CARBONYL MEDIATED CLEAVAGE OF BOTH PHOSPHORUS CARBON BONDS IN BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)METHANE UNDER VERY MILD CONDITIONS - EXTRUSION OF METHYLENE AS KETENE, Polyhedron, 12(9), 1993, pp. 1101-1102
In obalt(II)/{bis(diphenylphosphino)methane}/NaBH4/CO reactions, in wh
ich the NaBH4 is added very rapidly, both P-C bonds of the phosphine a
re cleaved with extrusion of the methylene group as ketene.
