Trimethylsilyl- und Trimethylstannylester der Trithiophosphonsäuren; Darstellung,Protolyse und weitere Reaktionen

Trimethylsilyl and Trimethylstannyl Esters of the Trithiophosphonic Acids; Preparation, Protolysis, and Further Reactions The organotrithiophosphonic acid bis(trimethylsilyl) esters RP(S)(SSiMe₃)₂, R = Ph ( 1a ), R = t-Bu ( 1b ) and R = Me ( 1c ) are formed in high yield from the organo-bis(trimethylsilyl)-phosphanes RP(SiMe₃)₂ by the addition of three sulfur atoms (3/8 S₈) in toluene solution. 1b has also been prepared by reacting disodium tert-butyltrithiophosphonate, Na₂t-BuP(S)S₂ ( 2 ) with SiMe₃Cl. Analogous reactions can be used for the preparation of the stannyl esters RP(S)(SSnMe₃)₂, R = t-Bu ( 5a ) and R = Me ( 5b ). More favorable, however, these compounds are synthesized from the corresponding silyl esters 1b, c and SnMe₃Cl or, as has been shown in the case of 5a , by reacting dithiophosphonic acid anhydrides (RP(S)S)₂ with (SnMe₃)₂S. Low temperature solvolysis of the silyl esters 1b, c with water or methanol results in the free organotrithiophosphonic acids RP(S)(SH)₂, R = t-Bu ( 6a ) and R = Me ( 6b ), which can be isolated as white solids at —30°C. Contrary to the sodium salt 2 and the stannyl esters 5a, b , the acids 6a, b , and, to a smaller extent, the silyl esters 1a—c are thermally not stable towards decomposition into the thioanhydrides (RP(S)S)₂. The silyl and stannyl esters 1a—c and 5a, b , respectively, are capable of cleaving the ether linkage of tetrahydrofuran, which in the case of 1b leads to the quantitative formation of t-BuP(S)[S(CH₂)₄OSiMe₃]₂ ( 9 ). 1b, c and 5a, b react with Cl₂ and Br₂ forming the 3,6-diorgano-3,6-dithio-1,2,4,5,3,6-tetrathiadiphosphorinanes (RP(S)S₂)₂, R = t-Bu ( 7a ) and R = Me ( 7b ).

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 152. Functionalized Cyclotriphosphanes of the Type (t-BuP)₂PX (X = K, SiMe₃, SnMe₃, Cl, Br, PCl₂, P(t-Bu)Cl, P(t-Bu)I) Functionalized cyclotriphosphanes of the type (t-BuP)₂PX with electropositive or electronegative substituents X have been prepared on various synthetic routes: KP(t-BuP)₂ ( 1 ) can be obtained in 50–55 per cent purity by reacting (t-BuP)₄ or (t-BuP)₃ with potassium. Reaction of 1 with Me₃SiCl or Me₃SnCl leads to the cyclotriphosphanes (t-BuP)₂PSiMe₃ ( 2 ) and (t-BuP)₂PSnMe₃ ( 3 ), respectively; the cyclocondensation of Cl(t-Bu)P? P(t-Bu)Cl with P(SnMe₃)₃, however, is more convenient for the preparation of 3 . In a similar way the halogenated compounds (t-BuP)₂PCl ( 4 ) and (t-BuP)₂PBr ( 5 ) can be obtained from Me₃Sn(t-Bu)P? P(t-Bu)SnMe₃ ( 6 ) and PX₃ (X = Cl, Br). The phosphino-substituted cyclotriphosphanes (t-BuP)₂P? PCl₂ ( 7 ), (t-BuP)₂P? P(t-Bu)Cl ( 8 ), and (t-BuP)₂P? P(t-Bu)I ( 9 ) are accessible by the reaction of 3 with PCl₃ and t-BuPX₂ (X = Cl, I), respectively. 2–9 could be obtained free from phosphorus-containing by-products and were ³¹P-NMR spectroscopically characterized as compounds with a cyclic P₃ skeleton.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 160. About the Ring Cleavage of the Phosphorus Three-Membered Heterocycles (t-BuP)₂CMe₂ and (t-BuP)₂N(i-Pr) with Potassium or K-Naphthalenide The reaction of (t-BuP)₂CMe₂ with potassium or K-naphthalenide in tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane mainly leads to the symmetric phosphide K(t-Bu)P? ;CMe₂? ;P(t-Bu)K ( 1 ) via P? ;P-bond cleavage. Above —78°C 1 decomposes into the monophosphides KHP(t-Bu) ( 3 ) and KP(t-Bu)(i-Pr) ( 4 ). In the case of (t-BuP)₂N(i-Pr) under analogous conditions essentially the P? ;N-bond is split up yielding the phosphide K(t-Bu)P? ;P(t-Bu)? ;NH(i-Pr) ( 5 ), which is stable at room temperature. Contrary to (t-BuP)₂BN(i-Pr)₂ cyclic phosphides are not formed. The different reactive behavior in the metalation of phosphorus three-membered heterocycles of the type (PR¹)₂ER (E = hetero atom) is discussed.

The four-, five-, and six-membered cyclogermaphosphanes (t-BuP)₂(GePh₂)₂ (3) , (t-BuP)₃GeR₂ ( 6 R = Ph; 7 R = Et), (t-BuP)₄GePh₂ (5) and (t-BuP)₄(GePh₂)₂ (4) as well as (t-BuP)₄ are formed as by-products.

P(t-Bu)K with diorganylaminodichloroboranes under suitable conditions leads to the new 1,2-di-tert-butyl-3-diorganylamino-1,2,3-diphosphaboriranes (-1,2-diphospha-3-boracyclopropanes) (t-BuP)₂BNR₂ ( 2 , 7 ) and (t-BuP)₂BNR¹R² ( 3 — 6 ), respectively. The P₂B three-membered heterocycles 2 — 5 can be isolated in good yields. They are relatively stable against dimerization to the corresponding phosphorus boron six-membered ring compounds with opposite boron atoms. The rate of dimerization depends on steric and electronic influences of the substituents at the three-membered ring. All NMR spectroscopic results are only consistent with a structure in which the B and N atoms show planar coordination and are connected by a partial double bond.

P(t-Bu)K with 1,1-dichloroethane under suitable conditions. 1 can be isolated by high vacuum distillation and is stable for months when stored under inert gas at room temperature. Particularly, no dimerization to the corresponding 1,2,4,5-tetraphosphacyclohexane takes place. The NMR parameters indicate an increase of the exocyclic bond angles compared to (t-BuP)₂CH₂. The signs of all CP coupling constants have been determined by spin tickling experiments. The ²J(CCP)-coupling of the methyl group at the ring carbon depends strongly on the dihedral angle.

P(t-Bu)H (1) , 1,2,3-tri-tert-butyltriphosphane, H₂(t-BuP)₃ (2) , is formed which reacts further at temperatures above 100°C to give 1-(tert-butylphosphino)-2,3,4-tri-tert-butylcyclotetraphosphan, P₅(t-Bu)₄H (4) . Compound 4 reacts with 1 or 2 with lengthening of the P-sidechain to furnish the corresponding 1-(1,2-di-tert-butyldiphosphino)-2,3,4-tri-tert-butylcyclotetraphosphane, P₆(t-Bu)₅H (5) . At temperatures above 170°C, 5 disproportionates into the tetra-tert-butylcyclotetraphosphane, (t-BuP)₄ (3) which is stable up to about 200°C, and the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexaphosphane P₆(t-Bu)₄ from which the polycyclophosphanes P₉(t-Bu)₃ and P₈(t-Bu)₆ arise during the further course of the thermolysis. These products are finally converted through even more phosphorus-rich and more highly condensed t-butylcyclophosphanes into elemental phosphorus. In each reaction step, varying amounts of the monophosphane derivatives t-BuPH₂, (t-Bu)₂PH, and (t-Bu)₃P are formed. The proposed course of the reaction is further substantiated by the pyrolysis products of pure 2 and 3 .

The Detection of tert-Butylthiosulfoxylic Acid,t-BuSSOH,and 1-Oxatrisulfane,HSSOH, in the Gas Phase – Experimental Results and Ab Initio Calculations

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of tert-butylthiosulfinic acid S-tert-butylester, t-BuS(O)St-Bu, at a temperature of 500 °C and a pressure of 0.07 hPa leads to the formation of tert-butylthiosulfoxylic acid, t-BuSSOH ( 1 ), and 2-methylpropene as byproduct. 1 has been identified in the gas phase by its IR absorption bands at ν(OH) = 3598 cm^–1, δ(SOH) = 1149 cm^–1 and ν(SO) = 718 cm^–1. At higher temperatures (700 °C) the elimination of a second mole of 2-methylpropene and the shift of ν(SO) to higher wavenumbers (750 cm^–1) indicate the formation of 1-oxatrisulfane, HSSOH. Different sulfenic acids RSOH (R = Me, i-Pr, t-Bu) were synthesized by FVP in order to study the influence of the substituent R on the vibrational wavenumbers ν(OH), ν(SO) and δ(SOH) observed in the gas phase. The strongest effect results for δ(SOH) leading to a decrease by 6 wavenumbers if the methyl group is substituted by a tert-butyl group. The assignment of the experimental wavenumbers has been supported by theoretical values obtained from ab initio calculations at the MP2(fc)/6-311G** level. Furthermore, the theoretical studies show that of all compounds RS₂OR′ (R = R′ = H, Me; R = Me (H), R′ = H (Me)) the unbranched chain isomers RSSOR′ are energetically favored over the branched chain isomers. Relaxed potential energy surface scans at the MP2(fc)/6-311G** level have been carried out to study the rotational isomers of the branched molecules RS(Y)XR′ (R = R′ = H, Me; R = Me (H), R′ = H (Me); X = O (S), Y = S (O)). Of the three conformations (+)syn-clinal, (–)syn-clinal, and anti-periplanar resulting from molecular model considerations only the two latter ones correspond to local minima on the calculated potential curve. The (–)syn-clinal conformation is slightly favored for all other constitutional isomers except for HS(O)SH and MeS(O)SH, which prefer the anti-periplanar conformation.

Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were carried out for two typical compounds, i.e. the cyclic eight-membered 3, 7-di-t-butyl-3H, 7H-1λ⁴, 5λ⁴, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocine ( 1a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and (t-Bu)AsCl₂ (1:1)) and the open-chain bis(diphenylarsino)sulphur diimide ( 2a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and Ph₂AsCl (1:2)). In both compounds the sulphur diimide groups are coplanar with their directly bound arsenic atoms. This coplanarity principle leads, in the case of 1a , to about conformation (mm2(C_2v) symmetry) of the eight-membered heterocycle; the t-butyl substituents occupy quasi equatorial positions. Small deviations from mm2 symmetry and torsions around the S?N bonds up to 12° can be explained as a consequence of the transnnular repulsion of the lone pairs at the arsenic atoms (As …As distance 3.683(1) Å). In the case of the open-chain S(N? AsPh₂)₂ ( 2a , 2(C₂) symmetry), a cis, cis configuration was found at the S?N double bonds which indicates As…As interaction. The As…As distance (3.379(1) Å) is shorter than in 1a and parallells a reduced interaction of the lone pairs at the As atoms. The S?N bond lenghts (1.517(5) Å in 1 a and 1.521(3) Å in 2a ) are characteristic of sulphur diimides withoug significant π-interaction with the substituents and correspond to S^IV?N double bonds.
