Scheme 2.

Scheme 2

Synthetic route for the tetrahedral molybdenum pnictogen complexes of the type {[Mo]2(μ,η22PE)} (E=P (B), As (1), Sb (2); [Mo]=CpMo(CO)2) by Mays et al. in 1998. Yields for B, 1 and 2 are calculated for the overall reaction starting from A. This work: direct synthesis of D from A and avoidance of HCl elimination by replacing the protons with SiMe3 groups.
