Summary.

 A series of P,N ligands of the general formula (2-py)-(CH2) n -PR 2 (2-py: 2-pyridyl; R: i-Pr (n=1, 4–7), Ph (n=5–7)) 4ag and 6a has been synthesized. Starting from 2-picoline (1), 2-(ω-chloroalkyl)pyridines 3ad are prepared. The reactions of 3ad with (i-Pr)2PLi and Ph2PLi, respectively, result in the title compounds 4ag in up to 89% yield. Reaction of Cl-(CH2)3-P(i-Pr)2 with 2-picolyllithium (2) is an alternative route to 4a. Additionally, P,P,N ligands 7a and 9 are synthesized by similar methods. All new compounds were fully characterized. The formation of cyclic pyridinium derivatives 5a and 5b from intramolecular S N reactions of 3a and 3b is discussed in detail.

Zusammenfassung.

 Ausgehend von 2-Picolin (1) werden die homologen P,N-Liganden (2-py)-(CH2) n -PR 2 (2-py: 2-Pyridyl; R: i-Pr (n=1, 4–7), Ph (n=5–7) 4ag und 6a dargestellt. Über die entsprechenden 2-(ω-Chloralkyl)pyridine 3ad erhält man durch nachfolgende Umsetzung mit (i-Pr)2PLi bzw. Ph2PLi die Titelverbindungen 4ag in bis zu 89% Ausbeute. Alternativ erhält man Verbindung 4a durch Umsetzung von Cl-(CH2)3-P(i-Pr)2 mit 2-Picolyllithium (2). Ähnliche Synthesemethoden eröffnen einen einfachen Zugang zu den P,P,N-Liganden 7a und 9. Alle neuen Verbindungen wurden vollständig charakterisiert. Die Bildung der zyklischen Pyridiniumderivate 5a und 5b durch intramolekulare S N -Reaktionen von 3a bzw. 3b wird im Detail diskutiert.
