The 2-phosphaethynolate anion: convenient synthesis and the reactivity

Abstract

Since Becker and co-workers isolated the 2-phosphaethynolate anion (P[triple bond, length as m-dash]C–O) in 1992, the phosphorus-containing analogue of the cyanate ion (N[triple bond, length as m-dash]C–O), the 2-phosphaethynolate anion has gained much attention because this anion is isoelectronic to small molecules such as O[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]S and F–C[triple bond, length as m-dash]P as well as the thiocyanate anion S[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]N. This paper highlights the recently reported methods for the synthesis of 2-phosphaethynolate anions and its utilization in the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds, especially the interesting work reported by two independent groups of J. M. Goicoechea and H. Grützmacher.
