Polarity and Conformatios of Phosphorylethylenes and Phosphorylacetates in Solution

Abstract

A series of derivatives R¹R²P(X)R³, where R¹=R²=Ph. R³= -CH=CH-Me, X=O(I); R¹=Me, R²=Ph, R³= -CH=CH₂, X=O(II); R¹=R²=Ph, R³= -CH=CH₂, X=Se(III) and R¹R²P(O)-CH₂C(O)OX, where R¹=Ph, R²= -CH=CH₂, X=Ment?(IV); R¹=Ph-2-OMe, R²=Ph, X=Ment?(V); R¹=R²=CH₂Ph, X=Et(I), were investigated by means of dipole moments method. The problem of conjugation in phosphorylethylenes and conformation behaviour of phosphorylacetates was considered. DM (exp.) of (I-IV), determined in CC1₄ solution are 4.48(I), 4.27(II), 4.97(III), 4.21(IV), 5.21(V) and 4.02 D (VI). The intramolecular electronic interactions of phosphoryl group with unsaturated fragment did not displays in polarity properties of compounds (I-III). The experimental dipole moments of derivatives (I-III) are equal to the calculated values of DM. DM (IV-VI) is very sensitive to orientation of the P=O and C=O polar bonds. Because DM (exp.) of these compounds very sensitive to its orientation. DM (calc.) for cis- and trans- orientation of P=O and C=O dipoles are really different, that allows to drow the conclution that, in the contrast to the crystal state, the corresponded dipoles prefer an anti array in solution.
