A tetraphosphino-bis(s-triazine) from cyanuric chloride and Ph2PH: new unexpected tandem C–C/C–P coupling reaction

Serendipitous synthesis of 4,4',6,6'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-2,2'-bi(s-triazine) (Tr2 P 4 ) – a novel promising polyphosphine ligand – from cyanuric chloride and diphenylphosphine is reported. This unusual reaction represents the first example of tandem C–C/C–P coupling...
