Organische Phosphorverbindungen XXII. Darstellung und Eigenschaften von diprimären α,ω-Bis-phosphino-alkanen

The preparation and properties of diprimary α,ω-bis-phosphino-alkanes of the general structure H₂P(CH₂)_n PH₂ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) are described. Their reactions with N-hydroxymethyl-dialkylamines and with olefins, which yield ditertiary α,ω-bisphosphino-alkanes, (R₂NCH₂)₂P(CH₂)_nP(CH₂NR₂)₂ and R₂P(CH₂)_nPR₂, respectively, are also reported. The physical properties of two new α,ω-bis-dialkylphosphinyl-alkanes have been determined.
