sis (Figure 3) shows a statistical disorder at P(2)

conclusion, the intramolecular hydrophosphination of
phosphirene complexes appears as a reasonably efficient
route to a series of original cis-1,2-bis(phosphino)ethenes
with two chiral phosphorus centers.

Experimental Section
Reactions were performed under nitrogen using oven-dried
glassware. Dry tetrahydrofuran was obtained by distillation
from Na/benzophenone. Silica gel (70-230 mesh) was used for
chromatographic separation. Nuclear magnetic resonance
spectra were obtained on Bruker Avance 3000 and Varian
Inova spectrometers operating at 300.13 MHz for 1H, 75.45
MHz for 13C, and 121.496 MHz for 31P. Chemical shifts are
expressed in parts per million downfield from external TMS
(1H and 13C) and external 85% H3PO4 (31P). Mass spectra were
obtained on VG 7070 and Hewlett-Packard 5989A GC/MS
spectrometers. Elemental analyses were performed by Desert
Analytics Laboratory, Tucson, AZ. Starting materials were
obtained from commercial suppliers.
Synthesis of 4-Phenyl-3-butyn-1-ol (1). To a solution of
phenylacetylene (1.21 g, 11.6 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added
n-BuLi (7.25 mL, 1.6 M solution in hexane) at 0 °C. The
reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 30 min and then was
cooled to -78 °C. Freshly distilled BF3‚OEt2 (4.6 mL, 17.4
mmol) in THF (5 mL) was then added, followed by an excess
of ethylene oxide (1 mL, 20 mmol), which was condensed into
THF (5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 30 min at -78 °C,
quenched with aqueous NH4Cl solution, and concentrated on
a rotary evaporator. The residue was taken up in Et2O, washed
with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The
crude product was purified by column chromatography on
Methylation-Decomplexation of Complex 8. Complex
8 (0.0096 g, 0.01 mmol) was treated with potassium tert-
butoxide (0.0038 g, 0.034 mmol) in THF (0.6 mL). After 3 min
at room temperature, methyl iodide (0.0027 mL, 0.043 mmol)
was added to the reaction mixture. After 1 h of stirring, KI
was removed by filtration, THF was evaporated, and the
residue was heated for 4 days with sulfur (0.0016 g, 0.05 mmol)
at 110 °C in toluene (0.7 mL). The reaction mixture was
purified by column chromatography with dichloromethane as
the eluent: Rf ≈ 0.8; yield 0.0071 g (95%).
