Fgn. Cloke et al., First catalytic dihydroamination of a phosphaalkyne. Crystal and molecularstructure of trans-[PdCl2{P((PrNH)-N-i)(2)CH2But}(2)], PHYS CHEM P, 2(23), 2000, pp. 2387-2388
Treatment of a dichloromethane solution of (BuCP)-C-t, containing a catalyt
ic amount of TiCl4, with an excess of the primary amines RNH2 (R = Pr-i, Bu
-t) quantitatively affords the corresponding bis-dialkylaminophosphine P((B
uNH)-N-t)(2)- CH2But. P((PrNH)-N-i)(2)CH2But is structurally characterised
by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of its bis-trans-PdCl2 complex.
