Aluminum trichloride catalyzes the ring opening of a 1-chlorophosphirane W(CO)5 complex and its reaction with thiophene and ferrocene to give the corresponding 1-(2-thienyl)- and 1-ferrocenylphosphirane derivatives. The W(CO)5 complex of the 1-ferrocenylphosphirane is an efficient precursor of the p...
