title: Diverse reactions of sterically-protected 1,3-diphosphacyclobutane-2,4-diyls with hydride.
abstract: Hydride-induced elimination of resonance stabilized substituents from a phosphorus center of 1,3-diphosphacyclobutane-2,4-diyls leads to the formation of versatile cyclic phosphaallyl anions that are useful for the construction of various electrophile-modified biradical species.
