Protection of both the dienic system and the lone pair of phosphorus of 1-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphosphole by complexation with iron carbonyl groups allow the regiospecific deprotonation of one β-methyl substituent by lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). The resulting anion exhibits versatile reactivity towards various electrophiles and can even undergo oxidative coupling with CuCl2, thus providing an entry into the unprecedented β-β′-bridged biphosphole system. Finally, the protecting iron carbonyl moieties can be cleanly removed in a two-step procedure involving reaction with sulphur and cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN).
