Abstract

Abstract : Four‐faced Janus, the god of transitions, now permits interconversion of two mirror images of a P‐phenyl‐phosphabarbaralane via two orthogonal mechanisms at the same asymmetric center; a Walden‐type inversion of a phosphonium salt and a Cope rearrangement of its caged cyclic hydrocarbon skeleton.
