BABAR-Phos is a very stable polycyclic phosphirane which is easily synthesized in few steps from dibenzosuberenone. BABAR-Phos is remarkably stable and is not oxygenated with O2 nor does it react with sulfur in boiling toluene. BABAR-Phos can be used as a ligand in homogenous catalysis. Substituents at the carbon of the PC2 heterocycle can be introduced and asymmetric BABAR-Phos were prepared. The coordination chemistry of rhodium complexes containing these as ligands was investigated.
