Darstellung und charakterisierung von (CF3)2PPH2 und (CF3)2AsPH2

(CF₃)₂EPH₂ (E = P,As) may be prepared in high yield by the cleavage of M-P bonds in compounds of the type R₃MPH₂ (M = Si, Ge, Sn) with (CF₃)₂EX (X = Cl, Br, I). The direction of bond fission depends on X and on the reaction temperature. These new compounds may also be obtained, but in lower yield, by the reaction of LiAl(PH₂)₄ with (CF₃)₂EX. Application of the principle of this reaction to other R′₂EX compounds (CH₃)₂PCl, (CH₃)₂AsI, F₂PX (X = Br, I)] has been investigated. The IR and NMR spectra of the new compounds are reported.
