The rearrangement of phosphitohydrazide ligand [(ArO)2P-NPh-NPh-] into iminophosphoranate anion [(PhNP(OAr)2-NPh-] {(ArO)2P = [CH2(BuMeC6H2O)2P]} in coordination sphere of divalent cobalt

Abstract:
The reaction of bromophosphite (ArO)2PBr {(ArO)2P = CH2(6-tBu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P} with lithium salt of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine gave phosphitohydrazine (ArO)2P-NPh-NPhH (2) in 64% yield. The last one reacted with Co[N(SiMe3)2]2 to afford cobalt(II) iminophosphoranate (PhNP(OAr)2-NPh-)2Co (3), which is the result of isomerisation of the phosphitohydrazide ligand in coordination sphere of divalent cobalt.
