Triphenylphosphaalkenes in Chemical Equilibria

• Triphenylphosphaalkenes 1a-c were prepared in good to excellent yields in a modified phospha-Peterson reaction between PhP(Li)TMS and benzophenones with different para-substituents at the C-phenyl groups (a: R = H, b: R = O-octyl, c: R = F). Owing to the low kinetic stabilization that is provided by the P-phenyl group, compounds 1a-c engage in reversible dimerization and oligomerization reactions, some of which are not detectable by 31P NMR monitoring. The dimers and oligomers are in chemical equilibria with monomeric 1a-c, and can be converted quantitatively to phosphinites 4a-c by the irreversible addition of methanol across the P=C double bond.
