Synthesis and Reactivity of Phosphorus-Containing Heterocycles and Tetrahedranes

3,5-Diphenyl-2-phosphafuran (DPF) was synthesized by treating trans-chalcone with dibenzo-7𝜆³ -phosphanorbornadiene EtOPA (A = C₁₄H₁₀, anthracene), a source of ethoxyphosphinidene, followed by formal elimination of ethanol. DPF is a potent diene and readily reacts with dienophiles at room temperatur...
