RESORCINOL BIS(CYCLOPHOSPHITES)

First representatives of resorcinol bis(cyclophosphites) were synthesi zed, on the basis of which a series of metallocomplexes, including a 1 6-membered binuclear metallocycle, was obtained. The fact that, in thi s system, two m-phenylene cycles are almost parallel with each other m akes possible the creation of complex polynuclear constructions. The p hosphocyclane rings in resorcinol bis(cyclophosphites) an readily open ed by bromine and chloramine to form bis-(omega-halogenoallylphosphate s) of resorcinol.
