Synthesis and Structural Characterization of New Hindered Aryl Phosphorus Centers (Aryl = 2,6-Dimesitylphenyl)

Abstract
The new sterically encumbered dichlorophosphine ArPCl2 (Ar = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl = Dmp,l) has been prepared from the corresponding aryliodide, n-butyllithium, and phosphorus trichloride. DmpPC12 served as a precursor for the phosphinic acid DmpP(O)(O
