Unique Synthetic Approach toward a Phosphaalkene: Synthesis of a Selenium-substituted Phosphaalkene with Bulky Substituents
A selenium-substituted phosphaalkene, (Me3Si)(2)C=PSeTrp (1, Trp: 9-triptycyl), was synthesized by two methods, substitution reaction of (Me3Si)(2)C=PCl (3) with TrpSeLi, and treatment of TsiP(Cl)SeTrp (4, Tsi: C(SiMe3)(3)) with a catalytic amount of AlCl3. The newly, obtained phosphaalkene was characterized in detail.
