Diphenylacetylene → HCID 4961564, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting compound 3,4-dimethyl-2,5,6-triphenyl-1-phosphanorbornadiene required for the preparation of NORBOS can be obtained according to the prior art in good yield in a two-stage synthesis. In the first process step, phenyldichlorophosphine or phenyldibromophosphine, or a mixture thereof, is reacted with dimethylbutadiene to give the 1-halo-2,5-dihydrophospholium salt, which is dehydrohalogenated by 2-methylpyridine to give 3,4-dimethyl-1-phenylphosphole. The reaction of the phosphole with diphenylacetylene in the second process step produce 3,4-dimethyl-2,5,6-triphenyl-1-phosphanorbornadiene.
