The reaction of PhPHNa with CH2X2 (X = Cl, Br) in tetrahydrofuran affords methylenebis(phenylphosphane), HPhP-CH2-PPhH (2), phenylphosphane, methylphenylphosphane, PhPHMe, and 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylcyclo-5-carba-1,2,3,4-tetraphosphane, CH2(PPh)4 (3).HPhP-CH2-PPhH (2) may be obtained in a facile one-step synthesis with yields up to 70percent by reaction of PhPH2 with CH2Cl2 and KOH in dimethyl sulfoxide/H2O or dimethylformamide/H2O.The formation of PhPHMe and CH2-(PPh4)4 may be explained by a reaction scheme including P-phenylphosphaalkene PhP=CH2 and HPhP-CH2Cl as reactive intermediates.The reactions between PhPHM (M = Na, K) and CH2Cl2 or CH2Br2 respectively, have been studied by independent experiments.
