Synthesis and reactions edit
It is prepared by the reaction of ethylene, white phosphorus, and phosphorus trichloride:[1]
- 3 C2H4 + 0.5 P4 + 4 PCl3 → 3 (CH2PCl2)2
The compound reacts with Grignard reagents and secondary amines to give chelating ligands.[2] An often practiced use of this compound is the synthesis of 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane.
