phosphination. Our ligand choice is based on the following criteria: (a)
the ligand should resist displacement from the metal; (b) the ligand to
metal coordination should be robust (preferably more than mono-
dentate); (c) donor atoms on the ligand should be electron rich.

(18) The desired complex 5 was found to be unstable in solution over
an extended period of time. However, it is stable in the solid state over
months and does not decompose. Our attempts to crystallize 5 failed,
and only the undesired diiodo complex could be isolated.

19) Phosphination with an ortho-substituted aryl group has been

reported by Glueck et al. However, in our case, ortho-substituted
iodophenylurea failed to provide the anticipated coupling product.
(20) It is most likely that the urea protons interact with base and might
consume 2 equiv of base per urea group.
