Abstract The study of a general synthetic route to 1σ 4 ,3σ 2 ‐diphosphaallenes involving the reaction of LiHMDS with C ‐phosphoniophosphaalkenes is reported. The choice of the base is critical since the precursors are highly electrophilic species that react cleanly with methyl‐, butyl‐, mesityl‐, or tert‐ butyllithium to afford C ‐phosphanylphosphonium ylides. The role of the substituents at the σ 4 ‐phosphorus centre has alsobeen studied. The resulting phosphaallenes react cleanly with a Lewis acid and undergo [3+2] cycloaddition withazides to afford a five‐membered heterocycle in a three‐step process. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
