We have synthesized the dicationic α-phosphonio-carbocation 1(2+) , which can be regarded as a two-electron oxidized phosphorus ylide. Carbocation 1(2+) exhibits two reversible reduction waves at -0.28 and -0.90 V (vs. Fc(+) /Fc) indicating that both the radical cation 1(.+) and the neural phosphorus ylide 1 can be generated. Indeed, reduction of 1(2+) with Zn afforded 1(.+) as a dark green solid that was characterized by XRD and EPR spectroscopy, and reduction with Mg(Ant)⋅(THF)3 gave 1, which was characterized by (1) H and (31) P NMR spectroscopy. Computational analyses reveal the stepwise population of a C-P π bonding orbital upon reduction of 1(2+) .
我们合成了双阳离子α-膦鎓碳正离子1(2+),它可被视为双电子氧化的磷叶立德。碳正离子1(2+)在-0.28和-0.90 V(相对于Fc(+)/Fc)处表现出两个可逆还原波,这表明可以生成自由基阳离子1(·+)和中性磷叶立德1。实际上,用锌还原1(2+)得到深绿色固体1(·+),通过X射线衍射和电子顺磁共振光谱对其进行了表征,用Mg(Ant)·(THF)3还原得到1,通过(1)H和(31)P核磁共振光谱对其进行了表征。计算分析表明,1(2+)还原时C-P π键轨道逐步填充。
