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.
