| Summary: | Metal-free organophosphorus are demanded compounds due
to their interesting properties in a variety of applications,
spanning from fine to material chemistry. Unfortunately, their
synthesis is very challenging, requiring a precise design of the
reaction conditions to avoid the conspicuous formation of
undesired products. The P-butterfly scaffold is considered the
very first opening step of the white phosphorus tetrahedron
upon selective cleavage of just one P P bond. While the
synthesis of metal-containing P-butterflies is nowadays reproducible
with a variety of transition metal complexes, the metalfree
analogues are still elusive and just a limited number of
examples is described in the literature. The state of art on
known metal-free phosphorus butterfly compounds is described
herein. |
