A simple synthesis of sodium 2‐phosphanaphthalene‐3‐olate ( 1 ) based on the extrusion of N 2 from phthalazine using Na[OCP] is reported. This heterocycle can be readily functionalized at the negatively charged oxygen center using a variety of electrophilic substrates. The coordination chemistry of both 1 and its neutral derivatives was explored, revealing their facile use as P‐donor ligands for late‐transition‐metal complexes.
