Abstract: Cp*(Me3P)Ir(CH3)(OTf), a complex known to reversibly activate CH4 and other hydrocarbons under mild conditions, reacts with the phosphorus ylide H2CPPh3 in THF to afford two major species [Cp*(Me3P)(Ph3P)Ir(CH2CH3)][OTf] and [Cp*(Me3P)Ir(H)(η2-CH2CH2)][OTf]. Insertion of the ylide methylene… read more here.

Abstract: Three synthetic procedures have developed for a new class of phosphorus-ylide containing conjugate heterocycles, 3-oxo-λ5-benzophospholes. The key to the heterocycle is unusual intramolecular acylation of phosphorus-ylide forming an endocyclic ylide. Several types of 2-substituted benzophospholes… read more here.
