R. Schwesinger et al., HOW STRONG AND HOW HINDERED CAN UNCHARGED PHOSPHAZENE BASES BE, Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in English, 32(9), 1993, pp. 1361-1363
Unequivocal answers to the questions in the title are not possible yet
, but the strongest stable uncharged base, the P5 compound 1, is 28-29
pK units more basic than triethylamine. Compound 1 is easily prepared
, readily soluble, and can be stored almost indefinitely at room tempe
rature in the absence of moisture.
