S. Barkallah et al., Synthesis and reactivity of bis-(beta-oxo-cyclopentyl)phosphine oxide, sulphide and selenide: New route to 1,2,5-diazaphosphepines, SYN COMMUN, 29(11), 1999, pp. 1911-1920
We report the synthesis of his (beta-oxocyclopentyl)phosphine oxide, sulfid
e and selenide by treating beta-dichlorophenylphosphine with two equivalent
s of 1-morpholinocyclopentene. The present work extends our recent descript
ion of a new route leading to the formation of beta-phosphorylated cyclanon
es.
