description

The first dibenzophospholyl(diphenylphosphino)methane−borane hybrid ligand has been prepared from a Pd-catalyzed reaction of (chloromethyl)diphenylphosphine−borane with the dibenzophospholyl anion. This borane precursor is readily synthesized using a promising new reaction of diphenylphosphine−borane with dichloromethane, under phase transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. The dibenzophospholyl(diphenylphosphino)methane−borane acts as a chelating P−(η2-BH3) ligand to afford an air-stable Rh(I) complex. The X-ray crystal structure of this complex shows complexation of both benzophospholyl and borane moieties.
