Licht, Phosphide sowie starke Sauren und Basen beschleunigt. Mit K(Ph)P -P(Ph)K, Me,Si(Ph)P -P(Ph)SiMe, oder PZPh, reagiert 1 zu den unsymmetrischen Diphosphanen K(Ph)P -P(Ph)H, Me3Si(Ph)P -P(Ph)H bzw. Ph,P -P(Ph)H. Die NMR-, IR-und Raman-Spektren von 1 werden diskutiert.
Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus, 73"*)1,2-DiphenyIdiphosphane 1,2-Diphenyldiphosphane (1) is formed, contrary to results given in the literature, by the reaction ofKHPPh with 1,2-dibromoethane. Pure 1 is obtained by hydrolysis or alcoholysis of Me,Si(Ph)P -P(Ph)SiMe, in the dark. It is stable at -30°C. 1 disproportionates at room temperature to give PhPH,, higher homologues of the series H, [PPh],, especially H,[PPh13, and cyclic phenylphosphanes [PPh],, mainly [PPh],. These rearrangements are accelerated by light, phosphides, and strong acids and bases. With K(Ph)P -P(Ph)K, Me3Si(Ph)P -P(Ph)SiMe,, and P,Ph, 1 reacts to give the asymmetric diphosphanes K(Ph)P-P(Ph)H, Me,Si(Ph)P-P(Ph)H, and Ph,P -P(Ph)H, respectively. The NMR, IR, and Raman spectra are discussed.
