Synthesis of 1,3-Bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)[1,3,2]-diazaphospholane-2-sulfide (2)
1,3-Bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)[1,3,2]diazaphospholane-2 oxide (3.06 g, 7.17 mmol) and Lawesson’s reagent (2.90 g, 7.17 mmol) were stirred in PhMe (25 mL) for 3 h at 110 ˚C. At ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo.

Synthesis of 5a (Table 1, Entry 9); Typical Procedure
[Ni(acac)₂] (7 mg, 0.03 mmol, 3.0 mol%) and 2 (13 mg, 0.03 mmol, 3.0 mol%) were stirred in THF (2.0 mL) for 10 min at ambient temperature under N₂. Compound 3d (126 mg, 1.00 mmol) was added, and the solution was stirred for additional 5 min. Thereafter, 4d (1.75 M in THF, 0.85 mL, 1.50 mmol) was added, and the resulting solution was stirred for 21 h at ambient temperature. EtOAc (75 mL) and H₂O (75 mL) were added, and the separated aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 75 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. The remaining residue was purified by column chromatog-raphy on silica gel (n-hexane-EtOAc, 300:1 → 200:1 → 150:1 → 100:1) to yield 5a (160 mg, 87%) as a colorless solid (mp 88-89 ˚C). ^¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 7.61-7.51 (m, 4 H), 7.40 (md, J = 8.1 Hz, 2 H), 7.3 (d, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 6.96 (md, J = 8.9 Hz, 2 H), 3.87 (s, 3 H). ^¹³C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 159.1 (C_q), 140.8 (C_q), 133.7 (C_q), 128.7 (CH), 128.1 (CH), 126.7 (CH), 126.6 (CH), 114.2 (CH), 55.3 (OCH₃).
