To prepare tertiary phosphines bearing two different types of alkyl substituents,<br />
the choice of dichloro-N,N-diethylaminophosphine<br />
[ ] 147 as starting material was found to<br />
be the most judicious. As a matter of fact, the use of organometallic reagents to selectively<br />
substitute one or two chlorine atoms from phosphorus trichloride resulted, in most cases,<br />
in a mixture of mono-, di- and trisubstituted phosphines. On the contrary, at low<br />
temperature it was possible to treat dichloro-N,N-diethylaminophosphine with two<br />
equivalents of an alkyllithium or alkylmagnesium reagent without any P-N bond cleavage,<br />
affording a series of dialkyl-N,N-diethylaminophosphines 24a - 24d with moderate to<br />
excellent yield (Table 2).<br />

Each dialkyl-N,N-diethylaminophosphine of the series 24a - 24d was then<br />
converted to the corresponding chlorophosphines 25a - 25d using a novel efficient<br />
method. Treatment of phosphines 24a - 24d with a 4.8 M hydrogen chloride solution in<br />
diethyl ether rather than with gaseous hydrogen chloride [147] gave<br />
dialkylchlorophosphines 25a - 25d with better yields (Table 3) and a more convenient<br />
work up procedure. Other attempts to prepare 25a - 25d from aminophosphine 23 in a one<br />
pot synthesis gave comparable overall yields, without isolation of the intermediate<br />
dialkylaminophosphines 24a - 24d.<br />
