Journal Article
Mansour, R., Nejman, P. S., Taylor, L. J., Chalmers, B. A., Rey, F., Bengueddach, A., …Kilian, P. (2017). Optimised synthesis and characterisation of 1-adamantyltrimethylphosphonium iodide. Polyhedron, 133, 302-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.poly.2017.05.050

A synthetic route to multigram quantities of 1-adamantyltrimethylphosphonium iodide is reported. The synthesis starts from the commercially available precursor 1-adamantyl bromide and was optimised with respect to yield and ease of purification. The...

Treatment of Acenap(PiPr2)(EH2) (Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; 1a, E = As; 1b, E = P) with Ph3C·BF4 resulted in hydride abstraction to give [Acenap(PiPr2)(EH)][BF4] (2a, E = As; 2b, E = P). These represent the first structurally characterised phosp... Read More about Hydride Abstraction and Deprotonation - an Efficient Route to Low Coordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Species.
