Syntheses and structures of dimesitylphosphinite complexes of alkali metals and their catalytic activity in hydrophosphorylation reactions

Abstract

Metalation of dimesitylphosphane oxide, Mes2P(O)H (1), with alkali metal reagents (nBuLi, NaH, A(hmds); A = K, Rb, Cs) in THF yields the corresponding dimesitylphosphinites of lithium (2-thf), sodium (3-thf), potassium...
