Abstract

Examples of unsymmetric diphosphines, especially those with customized secondary coordination spheres, are rare. Herein, we provide an approach towards a Lewis acid-containing analogue of the bulky diphosphine, 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane that contains a single boron moiety. The coordination chemistry of this ligand and its allyl precursor have been explored using nickel(0).
