(σ3,λ5)‐phosphoranes versus (σ3,λ3)‐thiaphosphiranes: Quantum chemical investigation of products of phosphaalkene sulfurization

By sulfurization of phosphaalkenes ( a ) either (σ³,λ⁵)‐phosphoranes ( b ) or (σ³,λ³)‐thiaphosphiranes ( c ) are formed. In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) and coupled cluster (CCSD(T)) calculations have been carried out for model and experimental structures of (σ³,λ⁵)‐phosphoranes and (σ³,λ³)‐thiaphosphiranes to elucidate the factors influencing relative stabilities of b and c . According to the results of quantum chemical calculations, sterically bulky substituents make the phosphorane form more favored. Conversely, electronic effects of the most substituents provide higher stability for thiaphosphirane isomers. The only exception has been found in the cases where the substituent at the phosphorus atom possesses π‐donor and σ‐acceptor properties (e.g., in the case of amino group) and the substituents at carbon atom exhibit σ‐donor/π‐acceptor effects (e.g., silyl groups). The stability of the cyclic form c decreases further, if the substituents at the carbon atom are amino groups. In this case, a quite unusual structure has been theoretically predicted, which is considerably different from those of the hitherto known phosphoranes. It indicates a pyramidal configuration at the phosphorus atom and can be conventionally presented as a donor–acceptor adduct of diaminocarbene with thioxophosphine. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

λ3σ3P and λ5σ5P derivatives of (E)-1,2-difluoro-2-(pentafluoro-λ6-sulfanyl)ethylene and (Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylene

For the first time, the (E)-1,2-difluoro-2-(pentafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl)ethenyl group has been bonded to λ³σ³ phosphorus using a Grignard reagent. Similar phosphorus derivatives containing the (Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropenyl moiety were also synthesized for comparison. In three cases, hexafluoroacetone was added to form 4,4,5,5-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl) 1,3,2λ⁵σ⁵-dioxaphospholanes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 8: 467–471, 1997     

1, 2λ5-azaphosphinines and a new 1λ5, 3λ5-. Diphosphinine

The 1,2-azaphosphinine, 9 , and the 1,3-diphosphinine, 10 , can be isolated from a mixture resulting from the reaction of 1,1,3,3-tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-diphosphete, 1 , and ethyl isothiocyanate. The reaction of 1 with phenyl isothiocyanate yields the 1,2-azaphosphinine, 16 . Mechanisms for the formation of the compounds 9 , 10 , and 16 are suggested. The properties, the NMR, mass, and IR spectra, and the molecular and crystal structures of 9 and 10 are described and discussed.

Pentafluoro(aryl)‐λ6‐tellanes and Tetrafluoro(aryl)(trifluoromethyl)‐λ6‐tellanes: From SF5 to the TeF5 and TeF4CF3 Groups

The TeF₅ group is significantly underexplored as a highly fluorinated substituent on an organic framework, despite it being a larger congener of the acclaimed SF₅ group. In fact, only one aryl‐TeF₅ compound (phenyl‐TeF₅) has been reported to date, synthesized using XeF₂. Our recently developed mild TCICA/KF approach to oxidative fluorination provides an affordable and scalable alternative to XeF₂. Using this method, we report a scope of extensively characterized aryl‐TeF₅ compounds, along with the first SC‐XRD data on this compound class. The methodology was also extended to the synthesis and structural study of heretofore unknown aryl‐TeF₄CF₃ compounds. Additionally, preliminary reactivity studies unveiled some inconsistencies with previous literature regarding phenyl‐TeF₅. Although our studies conclude that the arene‐based TeF₅ (and TeF₄CF₃) group is not quite as robust as the SF₅ group, we find that the TeF₅ group is more stable than previously thought, thus opening a door to explore new applications of this motif.

2-Amino-4-aryl-6-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones. Preparation via a one-pot synthesis of 1-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-4-carbethoxy-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines

1-(ω-Carboxyalkyl)-4-carboethoxy-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines were prepared by a one-pot synthesis from β-alanine or γ-aminobutyric acid, ethyl acrylate and diethyl oxalate. In a second one-pot process these products were hydrolyzed, decarboxylated and condensed with aromatic aldehydes under the influence of hydrochloric acid to yield 1-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-4-arylidene-2,3-dioxo-pyrolidines, which yielded 2-amino-4-aryl-6-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)-ones upon treatment with guanidine. It was shown that 3,4-dihydro derivatives of certain 2-amino-4-aryl-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones, formed initially in the guanidine reaction, readily undergo conversion to 5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones.
