Carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide give crystalline cycloadducts with the
phosphazene bond of a 1,2 lambda(5)-azaphosphole. The CO2-adduct fully diss
ociates in solution, the CS2-adduct on short hearing only to a small part.
On longer heating, the latter rearranges in two successive 1,3-shifts to gi
ve a thiophosphinylimino dihydrothiophene, the structure of which is reveal
ed by X-ray analysis. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
