Abstract:
The as yet structurally uncharacterized title compound,
C2H804P2, was isolated as a by-product of the synthesis
of 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane (dmpe) from 1,2-bis(dichlorophosphino)ethane. In the crystal structure,
which is characterized by strong intermolecular OH…Osp2 hydrogen bonds, only the R*,S* diastereomer
is found. The molecule is located on a center of
inversion intersecting the central C---C bond, thereby
preserving the molecular Ci symmetry.
