We studied the reactivity of an osmium vinyl complex containing a coordinated hydroxyl group OsC12（PPh3）2[CH=C（PPh3）- CHPh（OH）] （1） toward bidentate ligand 1,4-bis（diphenylphosphino）butane （DPPB）, acid ligand （CO）, base （Cs2CO3） and heat. Two osmium vinyl complexes OsC12（dppb）[CH=C（PPh3）CHPh（OH）] （2） and OsCI2（CO）2（PPh3）[CH=C（PPh3）CHPh（OH）] （3）, as well as two relatively rare phosphonium-containing osmafuran complexes Os（q2-OCOO）（PPha）z[CHC（PPha）CPhO] （4） and OsClz（PPh3）z[CHC（PPh3）CPhO] （5）, were obtained in high yields from these reactions. All products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and their structures were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
