Ga. Carriedo et al., IMPROVED SYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC AND POLYMERIC PHOSPHAZENES BASED ON FACILE CHLORINE SUBSTITUTION WITH PHENOLS PROMOTED BY CESIUM CARBONATE, Macromolecular rapid communications, 18(5), 1997, pp. 371-377
In this report we describe a very convenient synthetic method for the
preparation in high yields and purity of cyclic [N3P3(OCH2CF3)(6)] and
[N3P3(OC6H4R)(6)] (R = Pr CN, CHO, COC6H5, COCH3, H, OCH3), and polym
eric [NP(OC6H4R)(2)](n) (R = Br, CHO, COC6H5, H, Bu-t) phosphazenes fr
om the direct reaction of the trimer [N3P3Cl6] Or the high polymer [NP
Cl2](n), and the alcohol HO-CH2CF3 or the para-substituted phenols HO-
C6H4R, using Cs2CO3 as proton abstractor and acetone or tetrahydrofura
n as solvent.
