Reactions of dithioxo-1,3,2λ5,4λ5-dithiadiphosphetanes with triorganolead derivatives

The reactions of Lawesson's reagent 1a and its 4-ethoxy homologue 1b with triethyl- and triphenyl(alkoxy)plumbanes 2a,b and -(alkylthio)plumbanes 4a,b were studied. On the basis of these reactions, novel, advantageous methods of synthesizing S-triethyl and triphenylplumbyl derivatives of aryldithio- and trithiophosphonic acids 3a–d and 5a,b were developed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reactions of dithioxo-1,3,2λ5,4λ5-dithiadiphosphetanes with trialkylsilyl and stannyl derivatives

The reactions of homologues of Davy's reagent 1 and Lawesson's reagent 9 with trimethylalkylthiosilanes 2 , trimethylsilyl enol ether 4 , trimethyl(diethylamino)silane 7 , trialkylalkoxystannanes 14 , and trialkylalkylthiostannane 15 were studied. On the basis of these studies, novel advantageous methods of synthesizing S-trialkylsilyl and stannyl esters of tetrathio-, trithio-, and amidotrithiophosphoric acids 3 , 5 , 6 , and 4-methoxyphenyldithio- and trithiophosphonic acids 10–13 were developed     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and NMR spectroscopy of a 1,3,2λ5,4λ5-oxathiadiphosphetane

From the crude product of the synthesis of the dithiadiphosphetane [RP(S)S]₂ (with R = 2,4,6-iPr₃C₆H₂), the trans-oxathiadiphosphetane has been isolated, C₃₀H₄₀OP₂S₃. X-ray structure analysis and mass spectroscopic investigations give unequivocal evidence for this structure: monoclinic, C2/c (no. 15), a = 13.066(8), b = 21.726(8), c = 12.070(6) Å, β = 103.54(10)°, V = 3331 ų, Z = 4, and D_c = 1.158 g/cm³. The asymmetric unit consists of half the formula unit. Solid-state ³¹P NMR spectra give information about the chemical shift anisotropy. Results of IGLO calculations of the ³¹P nuclear magnetic shielding tensor agree satisfactorily with the experimental data. Monitoring the reaction of several dithiadiphosphetanes with benzophenone in solution by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy indicates that additional oxathiadiphosphetanes as well as thiotrimetaphosphonates are present. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reactions of dithioxo‐1,3,2λ5,4λ5‐dithiadiphosphetanes with antimony(III) alkoxides

New antimony(III) derivatives of dithiophosphonic and trithiophosphoric acids 3a–c and 5 were obtained by the reactions of Lawesson's reagent 1a, its homologue 1b, and the isobutyl homologue of Davy's reagent 4 with antimony(III) alkoxides 2a–c. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and Characterization of 2-Arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ5-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones

The reactions of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 8 and N-methyl-N′-phenyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 9 with phenylselenenyl chloride 6 and p-chlorophenylselenenyl chloride 7 furnished the N-arylseleno-N,N′-diorgano-N′-(trimethylsilyl)ureas 10–13 . The reactions of 10–13 with MePCl₂ and PhPCl₂ resulted in the formation of a new class of compounds, the 2-arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones 14–19 . The new selenophosphoranes 20 and 21 were obtained in the reaction of 15 and 17 with p-nitrophenol in the presence of triethylamine. The identity and structure of the new compounds were established by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ³¹P- and ⁷⁷Se-NMR spectroscopy in the case of the selenophosphoranes 14–21 , and mass spectrometry in the case of 11 and 13 . A possible mechanism of the reaction leading to the selenophosphoranes is discussed. Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of the selenophosphoranes 19 and 20 were conducted. Both display distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry at phosphorus, the major distortions being imposed by the four-membered rings.     

1λ5,3λ5-Diphospholium ions

One example each is given for the reaction of bromoacetylenes and ethynyl-phenyliodonium tosylates with bis(diphenyl phosphino)methane. The yellow crystalline 1:1-addition products are diphospholium salts. They readily and selectively hydrolyze to give 2-phosphinoylethenyl phosphonium salts.
