The monodentate and bidentate pyridyl phosphines, PR3 and R2P(CH2)(2)P
R2, where R = 3- or 4-pyridyl can be prepared in high yields by treatm
ent of butyllithium/TMEDA/3- or 4-bromopyridine with PCl3 or Cl2P(CH2)
(2)PCl2 at low temperature. 1,2-Bis(di-2-pyridylphosphino)ethane is co
nveniently synthesised by an alternative route involving reaction of 1
,2-dibromoethane with lithium di-2-pyridylphosphide. (C) 1998 Elsevier
