Synthesis and structure of bis(2-phenylethyl) phosphine selenide

Bis(2-phenylethyl)phosphine selenide was obtained with 86% yield from bis(2-phenylethyl)phosphine and selenium. XRD, IR, UV, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that the phosphorus atom in the bis(2-phenylethyl)phosphine selenide molecule is four-coordinated irrespective of the phase state (crystals or solution).     

Hydrogen Bonds in 2-(Diorganylphosphorylhydroxymethyl)-1-organylimidazoles

Structures of 2-(diorganylphosphorylhydroxymethyl)-1-organylimidazoles were studied by IR and ¹H and ^{3 1}P NMR spectroscopy, and also by ab initio calculations (HF/6-31G*). Formation of intramolecular O-H+++O = P hydrogen bonds in solutions of these compounds in CCl₄ and CHCl₃ was established.     

Atom-Economic Synthesis of New Imidazoles and Benzimidazoles with Thiophosphoryl and Hydroxyl Groups

Nucleophilic addition of secondary phosphine sulfides to an aldehyde of the azole series occurs under noncatalytic conditions in THF at room temperature and enables the preparation in high yield of imidazoles and benzimidazoles with thiophosphoryl and hydroxyl groups, which are promising building blocks for organic synthesis and polydentate ligands for metal complexes.Dedicated to Academician V.

Structure of polymeric coumarins. I. Determination of the double bonds in copolymers and the initial coumarins by ozonization

The paper gives the results obtained in a study of the structure of coumarin derivatives by the following metheds: ozonization of the double bonds in the monomeric and polymeric coumarins, and also in mixtures of polyvinylpyrrolidone with monomeric coumarins, and the treatment of the monomeric coumarins under the conditions of radical copolymerization but without the participation of N-vinylpyrrolidone.Institute of High-Molecular-Weight Compounds, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.

Reactions of elemental phoshorus and phosphine with electrophiles in superbasic systems: XIX. Formation of the C-P bond with participation of elemental phosphorus under microwave assistance

Microwave irradiation facilitates phosphorylation of aryl methyl chlorides and styrene with red phosphorus in the presence of strong bases and increases the yield of the main products, tertiary phosphine oxides.     

Reactions of Elemental Phosphorus and Phosphines with Electrophiles in Superbasic Systems: XII. Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Tertiary Phosphine Oxides from Red Phosphorus and Organyl Halides

Alkyldibenzyl- and benzyldialkylphosphine oxides were prepared in one stage by direct phosphorylation of a mixture of alkyl bromides and benzyl chloride with red phosphorus under the conditions of phase-transfer catalysis (concentrated aqueous KOH solution-dioxane-benzyltriethylammonium chloride).     

Organylthiochloroacetylenes: IV. Reaction with Thiourea

Alkylthiochloroacetylenes react with thiourea in acetone to form S-(alkylthioethynyl)isothiuronium chlorides and N-[1-(alkylthio)ethylidene]thioureas; phenylthiochloroacetylene reacts with thiourea to give 4-(phenylthio)-2-imino-1,3(3H)-thiazole hydrochloride.     

Reaction of Vinylpyridines with Active Modifications of Elemental Phosphorus in KOH/DMSO

The phosphorylation of 2-vinyl- and 4-vinylpyridines by white phosphorus and active modifications of red phosphorus (obtained by thermal polymerization of white phosphorus in the presence of graphite or the action of ionizing radiation in benzene) in the KOH/DMSO superbase system at room temperature leads to the formation of tris[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]- and tris[2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl]phosphine oxides in 58-72% yield. These oxides are promising ligands for design of metal complex catalysts. These vinylpyridines react less efficiently with ordinary red phosphorus and the yield of the corresponding tris(2-pyridylethyl)phosphine oxides does not exceed 10%.
