“…[5,6] Surprisingly, their chemical properties as an atomic carbon source have received very little attention, with the exception of carbodiphosphoranes (CDPs) IIIa. [7] CDPs are known to react with two equivalents of ketone, leading to the formation of cumulenes as a result of a double-Wittig reaction. We have recently described the synthesis of the first persistent mixed P,S-bis(ylide) of type IIIb.…”
