Crystallographic characterization of a stable 7-phosphanorbornadiene-7-oxide: 2,3-benzo-1,4,5,6,7-pentaphenyl-7-phosphabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-7-oxide
C. Gottardo et al., Crystallographic characterization of a stable 7-phosphanorbornadiene-7-oxide: 2,3-benzo-1,4,5,6,7-pentaphenyl-7-phosphabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-7-oxide, HETEROAT CH, 11(3), 2000, pp. 182-186
The stable 7-phosphanorbornadiene derivative, 2,3-benzo-1,4,5,6,7-pentaphen
yl-7-phosphabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-7-oxide (1) was synthesized in 45
% yield via the Diels-Alder reaction of pentaphenylphosphole oxide and benz
yne. The reaction occurs specifically to give a single isomer, which was ch
aracterized by use of X-ray crystallography and P-31 NMR spectroscopy. (C)
