The nature of the highly polar P-N bond in phosphinimine makes a ligand of this kind become versatile in both coordination and organometallic chemistry.[1,2] Usually this kind of phosphinimine phosphine P,N-heterodifunctional ligands is prepared by the Staudinger reaction of azides with organophophine. Now a more mild and efficient method is provided. The product of Mannich reaction of 2-aminopyridine reacted with Ph2PCl in the presence of Et3N, giving the phosphinimine compound 1 in more than 90% yield.……
