In this lecture some new routes to phosphorus-carbon com­ pounds with P-C multiple bonds, found i n connection with our i n ­ vestigations on reactions of tertiary phosphanes with chlorinated carbon compounds, such as tetrachloromethane, hexachloroethane, phosgene, and isocyanide dichlorides are reported. Furthermore some stereochemical problems concerning this type of compound will be discussed. Action of tetrachloromethane on trimethylsilyl-substituted methyl-diphenylphosphanes causes quantitative chloroform elimina­ tion with formation of trimethylsilylated (TMS) methylenechloro­ -diphenylphosphoranes. Heating the b i s t r i m e t h y l s i l y l substituted

compound causes spontaneous gas evolution of TmsCl at 120°C. The product i s identified by elemental analysis, molecular mass de­ termination, and the characteristic 31p nmr s h i f t . I t is a greenish-yellow l i q u i d which can be distilled i n vacuo without decomposition. The general a p p l i c a b i l i t y of this synthesis, based upon migration of an organyl substituent from phosphorus to the ylid-carbon i s restricted so far to P-aryl substituted com­ pounds. Another route to a number of theoretically interesting com­ pounds of two-coordinate phosphorus i s the reaction of P-trimethy l s i l y l - s u b s t i t u t e d phosphanes with phosgene. The reaction pro­ ceeds v i a several isolable intermediates. The first i s the phosphino-substituted methylene-phosphane, which is generated by silyl-group migration from phosphorus to oxygen. Treatment with further phosgene then causes further elimination of CO and chlorotrimethylsilane, yielding a compound with a P-P bond which 0097-6156/81/0171-0001$05.00/0 © 1981 American Chemical Society In Phosphorus Chemistry; Quin, L., et al.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1981.
