Synthesis and Reactions of a Diarylphospha-arsaalkene

Abstract
Only a few representatives of the class of phosphaarsaalkenes R-P=As-R′ have been described in the literature. We have synthesized P-2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl-As-2,4,6-triisopropylphenylphosphaarsaeth ene (1) by the following route: The easy accessibility of this crystalline, orange-coloured, air- and water-stable compound enabled us to make a detailed investigation of its properties and chemical reactivity.
