The hydrogen/halogen exchange of phosphines has been exploited to establish a truly useable substrate scope and straightforward methodology for the formation of cyclopolyphosphines. Starting from a single dichlorophosphine, a sacrificial proton "donor phosphine"makes the rapid, mild synthesis of cyclopolyphosphines possible: reactions are complete within 10 min at room temperature. Novel (aryl)cyclopentaphosphines (ArP)5 have been formed in good conversion, with the crystal structures presented. The use of catalytic quantities of iron(III) acetylacetonate provides significant improvements in conversion in the context of diphosphine (Ar2P)2 and alkyl-substituted cyclotetra- or cyclopentaphosphine ((AlkylP)n, where n = 4 or 5) formation. Both iron-free and iron-mediated reactions show high levels of selectivity for one specific ring size. Finally, investigations into the reactivity of Fe(acac)3 suggest that the iron species is acting as a sink for the hydrochloric acid byproduct of the reaction.

1,2-Diaryl-1,2-dibromodiphosphanes R(Br)P-P(Br)R 2 (R = C6H5; 4-XC6H4, X = CH3O, F, Cl) were prepared by dehalogenation of RPBr2 with magnesium in a one-batch procedure.While solid 2 presumably consists of only one diastereomer there exists an equilibrium between meso-2, rac-2 and their disproportionation products RPBr2 and (RP)5 in solutions of 2.The influence of temperature, R and solvent on this equilibrium was investigated. - The reaction products of the dissolved phenyl compound 2a correspond to a reaction of its disproportionation products PhPBr2 and (PhP)5, the former preferably reacting on nucleophilic substitution, the latter with electrophilic agents.Under heterogenous conditions diphosphanes Ph(R)P-P(R)Ph can be obtained from 2a and LiR.
