Abstract

The reaction of DippPH2(Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with DippN=C(p-CH3C6H4)Cl in refluxing xylenes affords DippP=C(p-CH3C6H4)N(H)Dipp; deprotonation with alkali metal reagents produces unique lithium and potassium complexes with the ligand in a different geometry to that of the free phosphaamidine.
