Abstract
o-Phenylene-bis(dibromophosphane) (1) is prepared by reaction of P ,P,P′,P′-tetrakis(dim ethylamino)-o-phenylenediphosphane with hydrogen bromide in ether. The reaction of o-phenylene- bis(dichlorophosphane) (2) with CH3OH in ether yields o-phenylene-bis(phosphonousacid- dimethylester) (3). The Michaelis-Arbuzov conversion of 3, either by heat or by catalytic amounts of CH3I in toluene, yields ophenylene-bis(methylphosphinic-acid-methylester) (4). The reduction of 2 must be carried out with a large excess of LiAlH4 (1:4) in ether to give o-phenylenediphosphane (5). The cyclic anhydride (6) of P.P′-dichloro-o-phenylenediphosphonous acid is formed when 2 is hydrolyzed in ether with an equimolar amount of water. Complete hydrolysis of 2 with an excess of water gives o-phenylenediphosphonous acid (7). With hydrogen peroxide o-phenylenediphosphonic acid (8) can be isolated.
