Reactions
Deprotonation gives methylenetrimethylphosphine ylide, which can sustain a second deprotonation:[1]
- (CH3)4PBr + BuLi → CH3)3P=CH2 + LiBr + BuH
- CH3)3P=CH2 + BuLi → CH3)2P(CH2)2Li + BuH
The latter is a precursor to many coordination complexes, e.g., the dicuprous complex Cu2[(Me2P(CH2)2]2.[2]
gollark: It will be a highly advanced thing which monitors osmarks.net™ for explodingness.
gollark: Do you think it's reasonable to make the osmarks.net™ statusthingy™ poll every 60 seconds?
gollark: I think it might technically slightly violate some garbage collector invariants.
gollark: It has to directly manipulate AST nodes in cmark.
gollark: Oh, minoteaur actually has that (not the threading bit) in its Markdown parsing code.
