Article Abstract
The reactivity of sodium phosphaethynolate Na(OCP) towards various Mayr's reference electrophiles was investigated using conventional UV-visible and laser-flash photolysis techniques. The kinetic data, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, enabled the first experimental quantification of the phosphorus nucleophilicity of [OCP]. Product studies of these reactions demonstrate the formation of secondary as well as tertiary phosphines. The mechanism of this unprecedented phosphorus-atom transfer reaction is thoroughly discussed, with key intermediates successfully isolated and characterized. Importantly, some bulky secondary phosphine oxides synthesized using this approach, have demonstrated high efficiency as ligands in the Suzuki coupling reaction.

Unsaturated phosphorus heterocycles typically exhibit diminished π-aromaticity. A unique entry into metallaphosphirenes featuring σ-aromaticity within an unsaturated framework is reported. Reaction of sodium phosphaethynolate (NaOCP) with cyclic metal carbyne 1 affords phosphorus atom transfer through a formal [1 + 2] cycloaddition pathway.

The synthesis of an arsanyl-phosphagallene [HCN(Dipp)]AsP[double bond, length as m-dash]Ga(NacNac) (NacNac = HC[C(Me)N(Dipp)]; Dipp = diisopropylphenyl) and its reactivity towards heterocumulenes and ketones is described. Reactions with azides, carbodiimides, isocyanates and ketones give rise to heterocycles cyclization reactions involving the Ga[double bond, length as m-dash]P π-bond (with the Ga-P σ-bond remaining unperturbed in the final products). By contrast, reactions with CO, CS and COS are more intriguing, revealing a reactivity profile in which the phosphorus atom can abstract carbon monoxide from the oxygen-containing heterocumulenes.

Terminal metal-phosphorus (M-P) complexes are of significant contemporary interest as potential platforms for P-atom transfer (PAT) chemistry. Decarbonylation of metal-phosphaethynolate (M-PCO) complexes has emerged as a general synthetic approach to terminal M-P complexes. M-P complexes that are stabilized by strong M-P multiple bonds are kinetically persistent and isolable.

Two lithium phospha-enolates [RP=C(Si Pr )OLi] were prepared by reaction of triisopropyl silyl phosphaethynolate, Pr SiPCO, with aryl lithium reagents LiR (R=Mes: 1,3,5-trimethyl phenyl; or Mes*: 1,3,5,-tri-tertbutyl phenyl). Monomer/dimer aggregation of the enolates can be modulated by addition of 12-crown-4. Substitution of lithium for a heavier alkali metal was achieved through initial formation of a silyl enol ether, followed by reaction with KO Bu to form the corresponding potassium phospha-enolate [MesP=C(Si Pr )OK] .
