To test this hypothesis, treatment of + with phosphaalkenes, that are isolobal to thioketones, permits the isolation of diphosphirane salts 11a,b. Theoretical calculations suggest that three-membered cyclic thiophosphiranes are crucial intermediates of this reaction. They act as + transfer reagents in phospha-Wittig-type reactions, when converted with various thiocarbonyls, giving unprecedented cationic phosphaalkenes + ( 5a-f) or phosphanides + ( 6a-d). ![]() ![]() Cationic imidazoliumyl(phosphonio)-phosphanides + ( 1a–e +, L C = 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-diisopropylimidazolium-2-yl R = alkyl, aryl) are obtained via the nucleophilic fragmentation of tetracationic tetraphosphetane 4 ( 2 4) with tertiary phosphanes. ![]()
