Synthesis of annelated phospholes through intramolecular C-H activation by monovalent phosphorus

Electrophilic terminal phosphinidene complexes [Ar-Ar-P-W(CO)5] (Ar-Ar: biaryl or an analogue thereof) undergo a spontaneous insertion of the phosphorus atom into the vicinal C-H bonds to give annelated phospholes. Twelve examples are described, including biphenyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, and benzofuryl...
