Organophosphorus compounds serve as reagents, ligands for transition metals, biologically active substances, and building blocks of nanoarchitectures, and thus play vital roles in organic chemistry. Among them,(E)-1, 2-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) ethene has recently attracted increasing attention in the field of self-assembly.[1] Construction of hierarchical structures for use as new functional materials [2] calls for derivatives of (E)-1, 2-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) ethene that have functional groups to induce further assembly. However, there are a limited number of methods for the synthesis of such peculiar diphosphanylethene skeletons; these syntheses are always carried out under harsh and/or strongly basic conditions.[3] Highly efficient and mild reactions affording (E)-1, 2-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) ethene derivatives are therefore required.Here we report a general, facile, and reliable synthesis of (E)-diphosphanylethene derivatives starting from an alkyne and a tetraorganodiphosphane. Radical addition of a tetraorganodiphosphane across a CÀC triple bond seems to be a straightforward strategy for the synthesis of 1, 2-diphosphanylethenes.[4, 5] However, tetraorganodiphosphanes are so sensitive to oxygen that their preparation, purification, and handling are quite difficult and must be carried out under a strictly inert atmosphere.[6] The inherent instability of diphosphanes in the presence of oxygen poses a serious problem in their synthetic use. The present diphosphanylation reaction employs a tetraorganodiphosphane that is cleanly generated in situ prior to the reaction. The high efficiency of this method will allow the 1, 2-diphosphanylethenes synthesized to be applicable in organic materials science.
