Abstract

The novel phospha-Grignard reagent Mg(PR′2)X(thf) [R′ = SiMe3, X = Br (1)/Me (1′)] was synthesized and structurally characterized as the phosphide-bridged dimer [1]2. The potential for this compound to behave as a redox-friendly phosphide transfer reagent was probed by its reaction with group 4 metallocene compounds Cp2MCl2 (M = Ti, Zr), resulting in phosphide transfer to zirconium, but reduction of the titanium centre to TiIII.
