1,3‐Dipolar cycloadditions of 9‐diazofluorenes and diphenyldiazomethane to 2‐acyl‐2H‐1,2,3‐diazaphospholes

A series of 2‐acyl‐2H‐1,2,3‐diazaphospholes 3 underwent ready 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions with 9‐diazofluorenes as the 1,3‐dipole, yielding the respective bicyclic phosphiranes 5 or trimers 7 depending on the reaction conditions employed.
