Synthesis of 2-silyl substituted phospharuthenocenes and an elaboration into the first phospharuthenocene-phosphine

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Dec 21:(24):2976-7. doi: 10.1039/b208736g.

Abstract

A [1,5] shift protocol transiently hindering the 2-position of phospholide anions provides an access to sterically unencumbered phospharuthenocenes and the first phospharuthenocene-phosphine.
