Mn2(CO)10-Catalyzed Intramolecular Dimerization of Diphosphirane Complexes

In this report, a series of biphosphirane complexes 1 were synthesized from the phosphiranide complex. The binuclear Mn-2 (CO)(10)-catalyzed intramolecular dimerization of these biphosphirane complexes provided 1,4-diphosphanorbornane derivatives. This work demonstrates the synthetic possibility of transforming small phosphiranes to phospha-heterocycles by metal-catalyzed reactions.
