Cl(CH 2) n Cl + 2 NaPPh 2 → Ph 2 P(CH 2) n PPh 2 + 2 NaCl. Diphosphine ligands can also be prepared from dilithiated reagents and chlorophosphines: XLi 2 + 2 ClPAr 2 → X(PAr 2) 2 + 2 LiCl (X = hydrocarbon backbone) This approach is suitable for installing two dialkylphosphino groups, using reagents such as chlorodiisopropylphosphine.
