Introduction Phosphorus plays a crucial role in modern p-block chemistry.1 One reason for that is the diagonal relationship between phosphorus and carbon.2 Comparable to carbon and its chemistry, phosphorus tends to form homoatomic bonds, which is explainable by the relatively high P–P single bond energy (ca. 200 kJ/mol).3 Thus, a plethora of poly- phosphorus compounds are reported in the last decades comprising of fascinating bonding motifs4 and interesting applications in coordination5-7 and synthetic8-11 chemistry, as well as in ligand design.12,13 A crucial point in the chemistry of polyphosphanes is of course the formation of P–P bonds. Numerous synthetic procedures are established and reviewed including salt metathesis,4a,14 dehalosilylation15 and dehalostannylation16 reactions, base promoted dehydrohalogenation reactions17 and dehydrogenative coupling reactions mediated by main group compounds18 or catalysis by transition metals.5,19 Moreover, dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes are used in condensation reactions to form P–P bonds since the early 1960’s. Yet these reactions need elevated temperatures, somewhat limiting the formation of polyphosphorus compounds as stated by the few examples reported.17d,20 The application of pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes in P–P bond formation reactions is a relatively young field of research.21 Their synthesis and general chemical behavior as well as advantages in comparison to dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes is discussed in the following chapter. 3 1.1. Pyrazolyl-substituted Phosphanes – Synthesis and Application in Condensation Reactions Following the pioneering work by the group of Peterson,22 mainly three synthetic pathways are established for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes.23 Reacting 3,5- dimethylpyrazole (1) with phosphorus trichloride in the presence of triethylamine in THF gives the desired tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)phosphane (2) in 96% yield next to triethylammonium chloride (Scheme 1; I).23a Scheme 1. Synthetic procedures towards pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes; i) 3 NEt3, -3 [HNEt3]Cl, THF, r.t., 96%; ii) -3 NaCl, THF, 66 °C, 90%; iii) -3 Me3SiCl, neat, r.t., 98%. Sterically encumbered pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes are accessible via the reaction of phosphorus trichloride with sodium pyrazolide 3 as shown by the synthesis of tris(3,5-di- tert-butylpyrazolyl)phosphane (4) (Scheme 1, II).23b Another convenient way for the formation of 2 is the reaction of PCl3 with 3,5-dimethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)-pyrazole (5a) (Scheme 1, III).22,23b The solvent free reaction gives 2 in essentially quantitative yields after stirring at ambient temperature and subsequent evaporation of the co-produced trimethylsilylchloride in vacuo. All reported tripyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes are colorless solids that are prone to 23 hydrolysis, but are stable when stored under dry, inert gas, such as N2 or Ar. The necessary exclusion of moisture when working with pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes indicates their higher reactivity compared to dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes. The latter hydrolyze in 4 the presence of water only slowly,24 and even dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes which are stable towards water, methanol and ethanol are reported.25 Peterson and co-workers further investigated the protolysis of 6 with water or methanol and could proof that it readily gives 1H-pyrazole and diphenyl phosphinous acid or methyl diphenylphosphinite, respectively (Scheme 2).22b Scheme 2. Protolysis of 6 with either water or methanol. Accordingly, the reaction of 6 with sodium methoxide yields methyl diphenylphosphinite and sodium pyrazol-1-ide. In a similar fashion, reacting 6 with phenyllitihum yields Ph3P and lithium pyrazol-1-ide.22b Such exchange reactions are also observed for 2 with Grignard reagents (RMgX, R = Me, Ph; X =
