Page/Page column 11, (2010/11/27)
A process for the polymerization and copolymerization of olefins is disclosed, comprising contacting the monomeric olefin under polymerization conditions with a polymerization catalyst or catalyst system which comprises (a) a source of a Group VIII metal; (b) a bidentate phosphine ligand having the formula (R1)(R1)P-X-P(R1)(R1), where each R1 is independently selected from a phenyl group or a substitued phenyl group with the proviso that at least one of the R1 groups is a phenyl group having at least one ortho substituent, and X is a bridging group of the structure -[N]x-[P]y-[N]- where x and y are independently 0 or 1, or -C(R4)2- where R4 may be the same or different and is hydrogen or a monovavlent hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl or hetero-hydrocarbyl group; and optionally (c) a promoter.

The treatment of methyltrimesitylphosphonium iodide (1) with sodium amide or butyllithium leads neither to the corresponding phosphorus ylide nor to the product of a Stevens rearrangement, but affords instead methylmesitylphosphane (4).The product, which is probably formed via a mesityl migration in an 2-methylenecyclohexadienylidenephosphorane intermediate (2b), is structurally characterized by detailed NMR analysis and through hydrochloride and methoiodide derivatives. - Analogous treatment of methylenebis(methyldimesitylphosphonium iodide) (10) with base leads to a pair of diastereomeric cyclic carbodiphosphoranes (12a, b), with elimination of mesitylene.The two carbodiphosphoranes are converted into the diastereomeric diphosphonium salts 13a, b with HCl.The ring closure leading to carbodiphosphorane formation is again interpreted in terms of an intramolecular process involving an 2-methylenecyclohexadienylidene intermediate.Deprotonation of the methylenebis(methyldi-o-tolylphosphonium) cation yields the corresponding carbodiphosphorane 18 without changes in the skeleton.
