Acyl-und Alkylidenphosphane, XV 2.2-Dimethylpropylidinphosphan, eine stabile Verbindung mit einem Phosphoratom der Koordinationszahl 1/ Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines, XV 2,2-Dimethylpropvlidynephosphine, a Stable Compound with a Phosphorus Atom of Coordination Number 1

In the presence of small amounts of solid sodium hydroxide, [2,2-dimethyl-l-(trimethylsiloxy)propylidene]-trimethylsilylphosphine reacts at + 20 °C to give hexamethyldisiloxane and 2,2-dimethylpropylidynephosphine (2). In contrast to similar alkylidynephosphines this compound is stable at room temperature. The IR and mass spectrum are discussed, and 1 H, 13 C and 31 P NMR spectral data are given.
