Chemistry of 1,2-diphospholide anions and 1,2-diphospholes

The main trends in the chemistry of 1,2-diphosphacyclopentadienes (1,2-diphospholes) and their derivatives 1,2-diphosphacyclopentadienide anions (1,2-diphospholide anions) were systematized, analyzed, and generalized. Methods for the generation of 1,2-diphospholide anions and their reactions with organic and organoelement electrophiles, as well as with transition metal complexes, were considered. Particular attention was paid to the cycloaddition reactions of 1-alkyl-1,2-diphospholes to obtain polycyclic chiral phosphines. A comparative analysis of the reactivity of 1,2-diphospholes and 1,2-diphospholide anions with respect to other representatives of phosphacyclopentadienes and phosphacyclopentadienide anions was carried out. The potential of application of 1,2-diphosphacyclopentadiene derivatives for the design of materials with magnetic, catalytic, and optical properties was shown.
