G. Bouhadir et al., THE VERSATILE BEHAVIOR OF A 1,2-LAMBDA(5)-AZAPHOSPHETE TOWARDS PROTICNUCLEOPHILES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 529(1-2), 1997, pp. 79-85
1,2 lambda(5)-azaphosphete 1 reacts with cyclohexylamine leading to fi
ve-membered phosphazenes 7 and 8. This result has been rationalized by
the protonation of the ring nitrogen atom followed by nucleophilic ab
ack of the amide at the P-carbon of the ring. Addition of p-cresol and
p-thiocresol to 1 affords the linear phosphazenes 12 and 13, resultin
g from protonation of the a-carbon atom of the ring followed by nucleo
philic aback at phosphorus. Compounds 7 and 12 have been characterized
by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
