Abstract
Staudinger reaction of alpha-azidophenylacetonitrile with triphenyl ph osphine in 1:2 molar ratio provides the triphenylphosphinazine derived from alpha-diazophenylacetonitrile, whereas in 2:1 molar ratio the fi nal product is found to be the aminotriphenylphosphonium salt of pheny l malononitrile; X-ray structure analysis of this salt indicates that the anion and cation interact with one another via hydrogen bonding.
