SHORT COMMUNICATION
1-Ferrocenylphosphirane Complex 6: A mixture of phosphirane 3
(33 mg, 0.07 mmol), aluminum trichloride (55 mg, 0.42 mmol), and
ferrocene (78 mg, 0.42 mmol) was stirred in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) for 1 h
at room temperature to give phosphirane 6. Purification by cold
column chromatography (–10 °C; hexane/dichloromethane, 9:1)
yielded 6 (20 mg, 46%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 1.48 (m, 4 H, CH2),
1.86 (m, 2 H, CH2), 2.05 (m, 2 H, CHP), 2.26 (m, 2 H, CH2), 4.18
(d, JHH = 2 Hz, 2 H, C5H4P), 4.23 (s, 5 H, C5H5), 4.33 (s, 2 H,
