Zirconium Species as Tools in Phosphorus Chemistry, 1 [Cp₂ZrHCI]_<i>n</i>, a Versatile Reagent

Abstract

Abstract [Cp 2 ZrHCl] n was found to be a useful reagent for a number of either ring formation or ring opening reactions involving unsaturated phosphorus compounds. Furthermore, treatment of a variety of phosphorus derivatives with [Cp 2 ZrHCl] n allowed the preparation of several linear or cyclic mono‐, di‐, trior polyphosphanes as well as optically active diphosphanes.
