THE STUDY OF 2-CHLORO-5,5-DIMETHYL-2-OXO-1,3,2-DIOXAPHOSPHORINANE IN SOLUTIONS BY MOLECULAR DYNAMICS METHODS USING IR AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract

2-Chloro-5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane has been studied in CCl₄, CHCl₃ and CD₃CN solutions by IR and Raman line shape analysis. Equilibrium process of dimerization and ring conversion in CCl₄ solutions have been considered. On the contrary to the commonly expected dominance of the conformer with the equatorial oriented Pdbnd]O bond for 2-halo-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes, it was found that for the 2-chloro derivative both conformers are nearly equally distributed. It has been shown that the interactions induced absorption is an important mechanism of relaxation in the studied compound and this mechanism gives significant contribution to the total IR band broadening, while the interaction induced light scattering is negligible. The obtained results show that the molecular dynamics method can be useful in studying cyclic compounds in solutions.
