The phosphorus congener of cyclobutanediyl (Figure 1a) is an isolable singlet biradical species at room temperature. We expect it to be a useful molecular entity for developing novel functional materials because of its unique electronic properties.[1–3] Niecke and co-workers have utilized thermally stable 2, 4-dichloro-1, 3-bis (2, 4, 6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)-1, 3-diphosphacyclobutane-2, 4-diyl, prepared from a bulky dichloromethylenephosphine,[1] to prepare structurally exotic organophosphorus compounds that have, for example, carbene, radical, and ionic moieties.[4] On the other hand, the 1, 3-diphosphacyclobuten-4-yl anion 1 (Figure 1 b; Mes*= 2, 4, 6-tri-tert-butylphenyl), which is stable at room temperature, can also be employed as a versatile reagent for preparing air-tolerant P-heterocyclic singlet biradicals.[5] The physicochemical properties of highly stabilized biradical derivatives prepared from 1 have been investigated. Alkylation,[5, 6a–f, h, 7] perfluoroalkylation,[6c] acylation,[6a] thioalkylation, and thioarylation [6g] of 1 have thus far yielded air-stable 1, 3-diphosphacyclobutane-2, 4-diyls. Furthermore, one-electron oxidation of 1, which yields an air-insensitive P-heterocyclic monoradical, has also been demonstrated.[8] However, the P-heterocyclic anion 1 can instead act as a good leaving group [7a] and has a propensity to yield undesirable products through reaction with certain electrophiles. Therefore, the reactivity of 1 requires further investigation to develop novel functionalized P-heterocyclic biradicals. Additionally, novel procedures for synthesizing 1 hold promise for further research with respect to P-heterocyclic biradicals that have been difficult to prepare by established protocols. We utilized silyl groups to investigate the chemistry of exotic phosphorus heterocycles. We also disclose a threecomponent reaction of 1a (G= tBu), silyl halide, and tetrahydrofuran (THF), which leads to novel stable P-heterocyclic biradicals. The intermediate PÀSi linkage between the silyl group and the particular P-heterocyclic system activates ring-opening of the cyclic ether structure, which effectively stabilizes 1a. Furthermore, our reactivity studies on the products of the three-component reactions revealed an unexpected regioselective PÀC bond cleavage reaction upon treatment with tert-butyllithium to generate the corresponding 1, 3-diphosphacyclobuten-4-yl anion 1. We applied this novel protocol to prepare 1 en route to several novel isolable P-heterocyclic biradicals. We also investigated the redox properties of the P-heterocyclic biradicals to understand the substituent effects that have rarely been employed. We treated 1-tert-butyl-2, 4-bis (2, 4, 6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)-1, 3-diphosphacyclobuten-4-yl anion (1a), prepared from phosphaalkyne 2 and tert-butyllithium (0.5 equiv) in THF, with silyl triflates at 408C (Scheme 1, path A; TMS= SiMe3, TBS= SiMe2tBu). After evaporation of the volatile materials and extraction with hexane, we obtained the air-stable deep-blue crystalline compounds 3a and 3b (77% and 78%, respectively).
