title: Formation of phosphanoxy-substituted phosphaalkenes via sterically promoted cleavage of the P=P diphosphene bond.
abstract: The reaction of a kinetically stabilized diphosphene (Mes*P=PMes*: Mes* = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) with an organolithium reagent and an acyl halide afforded the corresponding phosphanoxy-substituted phosphaethene [((phosphinidene)methoxy)phosphine] via sterically-promoted bond-cleavage of the P-P bond.
