'''Phospholane''' is the organophosphorus compound with the formula (CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>PH. This colorless liquid is the parent member of a family of five-membered, saturated rings containing phosphorus. Although phospholane itself is only of minor academic interest, the class of C- and P-substituted '''phospholanes''' are valued ligands in asymmetric hydrogenation and related areas of homogeneous catalysis.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Recent developments in chiral phospholane chemistry|author1=Clark, Thomas |author2=Landis, Clark|journal=Tetrahedron: Asymmetry|year=2004|volume=15|issue=14 |pages=2123–2137|doi=10.1016/j.tetasy.2004.06.025}}</ref> Phospholane is prepared by reduction of 1-chlorophospholane, which in turn is obtained by the reaction of 1-phenylphospholane and phosphorus trichloride.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Zur Spaltung tertiärer Phosphine.
