Dialkylchlorophosphines are among the most versatile building blocks for tertiary phosphine ligands, but their synthesis relies on the nucleophilic substitution of PCl, leaving substituents that require P-H precursors largely inaccessible. The primary phosphine reagent iPrNPH·BH can serve as a doubly protected PHCl proxy, enabling the synthesis of bis(bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl)chlorophosphine (BcpPCl) for the first time. BcpPCl serves as a general reagent for the preparation of a family of bis(bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl) alkyl- and arylphosphines, including new members of privileged phosphine ligand scaffolds.
