Abstract
A group of seven achiral, α- and β-chiral dialkylphosphanes were synthesized in one step from sodium phosphide and alkyl sulfonates or sulfates. The corresponding borane complexes were further alkylated with alkyl, allyl, and benzyl bromides and mesylates to give tertiary mono- and diphosphanes, either via lithium phosphide-borane complexes at low temperature (45-78%) or under phase-transfer conditions (79-91%).
Key words
red phosphorus - phosphorus complexes - phosphanes - boron complexes - phase-transfer catalysis

18 The stoichiometry of the obtained material was not determined, but the empirical formula Na3 P seems to be a reasonable assumption, since a 3:1 ratio of the reactants sodium and phosphorus afforded a homogeneous powder in high yield.
