trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-diphosphacyclohexane

The molecule of the title compound, C16H18P2, which was prepared by the reaction of dichloroethane with lithiated bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, is disposed about a centre of symmetry. The 1,4-diphosphacyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation with axial phenyl groups. The planes of the phenyl rings are orthogonal to the P...P axis.The molecule of the title compound, C16H18P2, which was prepared by the reaction of dichloroethane with lithiated bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, is disposed about a centre of symmetry.
