Taking a bite of phosphorus: Unusual cleavage of a phosphorus-carbon bond

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10426509708044207

The diphosphine (Me₂N)₂PCH₂P(NMe₂)₂ reacts with the tetraamino macrocycle cyclen at about 100°C in a closed system via cleavage of the P-C bond to yield cyclenphosphorane and bis(dimethylamino)methylphosphine. The presence of dimethylamine in this reaction is necessary, since a similar reaction which allows the amine to escape, produces an oligomeric product of formula [(C₈H₁₆N₄)PCH₂P]_n.
