Pt(Ph{sub 2}PO)(Ph{sub 2}POH){sub 2}H (1) was treated with o-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde to give a cyclic platinum alkoxide (2). The latter rearranges to the new product 3 (Scheme I), containing 1-phenyl-3H-2,1-benzoxaphosphole and a phenyl group coordinated to platinum, via a nucleophilic attack at the coordinated phosphorus center by the alkoxy group, followed by a shift of a phenyl group from phosphorus to platinum. The crystal structure of 3 has been determined.
