Phosphirene

Chemical compound

Phosphirene is the hypothetical organophosphorus compound with the formula C2H2PH. As the simplest cyclic, unsaturated organophosphorus compound, phosphirene is the prototype of a family of related compounds that have attracted attention from researchers.[1]

Phosphirenes, that is substituted phosphirene compounds where one or more of the H's are replaced by organic substituents, are far more commonly discussed than the parent phosphirene. The first example of a phosphirene, 1,2,3-triphenylphosphirene was prepared via trapping of the phosphinidine complex Mo(CO)5PPh with diphenylacetylene.[2]

Placement of the double bond between the carbon atoms provides a 1Hphosphirene in which the phosphorus center is bonded to two carbon atoms and a hydrogen atom. Alternatively, placement of the double bond between the phosphorus center and a carbon atom generates a 2H-phosphirene. The first 2H-phosphirene was synthesized as early as 1987 by Regitz group. However, the chemistry of 2H-phosphirenes was relatively dormant until a series of reports by Stephan group.[3][4]
