Synthesis,Structures, and Properties of Branched Oligogermanes

Abstract

We have employed the hydrogermolysis reaction for the preparation of rare branched oligogermanes, and have obtained for the first time the X-ray crystal structures of several branched tetragermanes, including (Ph₃Ge)₃GePh, (Ph₃Ge)₃GeH, and (Ph₃Ge)₃GeX (X = Cl or Br). We also have at our disposal branched tetragermanes having the formula (EtOCH₂CH₂Bu ⁿ ₂Ge)₃GePh, where the ethoxyethyl substituent serves as a protecting group for a germanium–hydride active site. These reagents have been employed for the stepwise synthesis of higher branched systems having up to 13 bonded germanium atoms in the oligomer backbone. The synthesis, structures, and physical characteristics of these systems are described.

Synthesis and Properties of 2-Alkylene/Dialkyl Dithiophosphato-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes

Reactions of 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes with ammonium alkylene/dialkyl dithiophosphates in a 1:1 molar ratio in refluxing benzene solution yields nonvolatile, yellow viscous liquids of the type (S)S(O) and (RO)₂ P(S)S(O) , respectively. [G = ? CH₂CH₂CHCH₃?,. ? C(CH₃)₂CH₂CHCH₃?,. ? CH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂; R = i-C₃H₇, C₂H₅].

These compounds are hygroscopic and monomeric in nature. The newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR [¹H&³¹P], and M.W).     

Si3S-, Si3Se-, Si3Te-Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and Si3S2-Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

The reaction of trisilirene 1 with propylene sulfide or elemental sulfur produced Si₃S-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 2, which underwent Si–Si insertion of a second S atom forming Si₃S₂-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane 3. Analogous reactions of 1 with elemental Se or Te resulted in the formation of heavier analogues of 2, namely, Si₃Se-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 4 and Si₃Te-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 5.

Reactions Between 4-Hydroxycoumarins or 4-Hydroxy-1-Methylquinolinone and Dmad in the Presence of Phosphites. Synthesis of (Chromen-3-YL)- and (Quinolin-3-YL)-(Dialkoxyphosphoryl)Succinates

Abstract

Dimethyl (chromen-3-yl)-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)succinates are prepared from the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with DMAD and P(OR)₃. 4-Hydroxy-1-methylquinolinone reacts with DMAD and P(OEt)₃ to give dimethyl (quinoline-3-yl)-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-succinate.

Reaction of Nucleophilic Polyhalogenalkylation in Two and Three-Component Systems

Abstract

The halophilic reactions of the derivatives of P^III R₃ P (R = R2N, Alk, Ar) with CCl₄, having preparative signifi-cance, are studied thoroughly. As far as the compounds of R₂PHlg type are concerned, at the beginning of our re-searches there was was an opinion that the interaction of R₂PHlg with CC14 cannot be possible because of the low nucleophility of phosphorus. We determined for the first time that diamidochlorophosphites 1 react with CC14 at the temperature 20°C and form the compounds 2, 3.¹      

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Alkyl-Substituted Aryl Diphenylphosphinate Esters

Abstract

In this work, the reactions of diphenylphosphinic chloride, (C₆H₅)₂P(O)Cl, 1, with the sodium salts of sterically hindered phenol derivatives (2a-2j) were investigated. Novel alkyl-substituted aryl diphenyl phosphinate esters (C₆H₅)₂P(O)OAr (3-12) were obtained from these reactions. Satisfactory analytical and spectroscopic results were obtained for all the new compounds.

Halogen-Substituted Cyclotrigermenes: The π(Ge = Ge)-σ*(Ge–X) Interaction and a Unique Dynamic Behavior

Abstract

The halogen-substituted cyclotrigermenes (^tBu₃Si)₃Ge₃X (X = F, Cl, Br, I) (2) were synthesized by the reaction of tris(tri-tert-butylsilyl)cyclotrigermenylium tetrakis(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate) (1 ⁺?TTFPB^?) with potassium halides (KF, KCl, KBr, KI). Intramolecular halogen migration over the three-membered ring skeleton was observed in the solution.
