Reactions involving skeletally stabilized intermediate phosphazanes yi
eld new cyclophosphazanes. Thermolysis of C6H4(NH)(2)PPh (9) yields (P
hP)(4) and the lambda(5) phosphazane [C6H4(NH)(2)](2)PPh (10); 10 upon
cyclocondensation with PhPCl2 yields cis,trans- and cis,cis-spiro lam
bda(3)-lambda(5)-lambda(3) phosphazanes [C6H4(N)(2)PPh](2)PPh (12). Re
action of the bis(silyl) cyclophosphazane C6H4(NSiMe3)(2)PPh with PhPC
l2 yields triphosphazane C6H4[NP(Ph)Cl](2)PPh (13); 13 with 1,2-(NH2)(
2)C6H4 forms cyclotriphosphazane C6H4(N2PPh) (PPh)(2)C6H4(NH)(2) (14)
14 is the key intermediate in formation of several new [(C6H4N2PPh)](2
)(PPh)(PR) (R = Ph, Me) cleft-containing cyclotetraphosphazanes (17).
Synthesis and structural characterization of the new phosphazanes are
described.
