1,2-Bis(dichlorophosphino)ethane is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (CH₂PCl₂)₂. A colorless liquid, it is a precursor to chelating diphosphines.

Synthesis and reactions

It is prepared by the reaction of ethylene, white phosphorus, and phosphorus trichloride:[1]

3 C₂H₄ + 0.5 P₄ + 4 PCl₃ → 3 (CH₂PCl₂)₂

The compound reacts with Grignard reagents and secondary amines to give chelating ligands.[2] An often practiced use of this compound is the synthesis of 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane.

gollark: It's the perfect choice for command line tools (you don't need environment variables or anything for that, no), web applications (sockets are also not actually a thing which exist), data science (data is just lists, right? osmarkslisp™ is great at lists), or systems applications (I am attempting to get it into the Linux kernel in place of BPF).

gollark: osmarkslisp™ features:- tail call optimization (Python lacks this for bee reasons)- strings, somewhat- very fast (sorts a 200-element list of integers in mere seconds)- intuitive syntax with 912571897189274 brackets- no macros, but still really minimal builtin operations- approximately functional scope

gollark: osmarkslisp™ *does* have APIs to access GTech™ solar sites.

gollark: osmarkslisp™, yes.

gollark: That doesn't mean that the languages they are using aren't horrible, or at least more horrible than is possible.
