(CF3)2PAsH2 und (CF3)2AsAsH2

(CF₃)₂PAsH₂ and (CF₃)₂AsAsH₂ (CF₃)₂PAsH₂ is obtained in yields between 30 and 60% according to eq. (1) (CF₃)₂AsAsH₂ is formed by the analogous reaction with (CF₃)₂AsI, but is not sufficiently stable to be isolated. Both compounds are decomposed according to eq. (2) (CF₃)₂PAsH₂ can be studied in solution below ?40°C; it is characterized by molar mass determination and by its n.m.r. spectra (¹H, ¹⁹F, ³¹P). Reactions with polar [HBr, (CH₃)₂AsH, (CH₃)₂PN(CH₃)₂] and nonpolar [Br₂, As₂(CH₃)₄] reagents proceed by cleavage of the P? As bond.     

Darstellung und charakterisierung von (CF3)2PPH2 und (CF3)2AsPH2

(CF₃)₂EPH₂ (E = P,As) may be prepared in high yield by the cleavage of M-P bonds in compounds of the type R₃MPH₂ (M = Si, Ge, Sn) with (CF₃)₂EX (X = Cl, Br, I). The direction of bond fission depends on X and on the reaction temperature. These new compounds may also be obtained, but in lower yield, by the reaction of LiAl(PH₂)₄ with (CF₃)₂EX. Application of the principle of this reaction to other R′₂EX compounds [(CH₃)₂PCl, (CH₃)₂AsI, F₂PX (X = Br, I)] has been investigated. The IR and NMR spectra of the new compounds are reported.     

Darstellung,Charakterisierung und Struktur funktionalisierter Fluorphosphaalkene des Typs R3E–P=C(F)NEt2 (R/E = Me/Si,Me/Ge,CF3/Ge,Me/Sn)

Preparation, Characterization, and Structure of Functionalized Fluorophosphaalkenes of the Type R₃E–P=C(F)NEt₂ (R/E = Me/Si, Me/Ge, CF₃/Ge, Me/Sn) P‐functionalized 1‐diethylamino‐1‐fluoro‐2‐phosphaalkenes of the type R₃E–P=C(F)NEt₂ [R/E = Me/Si ( 2 ), Me/Ge ( 3 ), CF₃/Ge ( 4 ), Me/Sn ( 5 )] are prepared by reaction of HP=C(F)NEt₂ ( 1 , E/Z = 18/82) with R₃EX (X = I, Cl) in the presence of triethylamine as base, exclusively as Z‐Isomers. 2–5 are thermolabile, so that only the more stable representatives 2 and 4 can be isolated in pure form and fully characterized. 3 and 5 decompose already at temperatures above –10 °C, but are clearly identified by ¹⁹F and ³¹P NMR‐measurements. The Z configuration is established on the basis of typical NMR data, an X‐ray diffraction analysis of 4 and ab initio calculations for E and Z configurations of the model compound Me₃Si–P=C(F)NMe₂. The relatively stable derivative 2 is used as an educt for reactions with pivaloyl‐, adamantoyl‐, and benzoylchloride, respectively, which by cleavage of the Si–P bond yield the push/pull phosphaalkenes RC(O)–P=C(F)NEt₂ [R = tBu ( 6 ), Ad ( 7 ), Ph ( 8 )], in which π‐delocalization with the P=C double bond occurs both with the lone pair on nitrogen and with the carbonyl group.     

Regioselectivity of 5, 6, 7, 8‐Tetrafluoroquinoline and 6‐X‐Trifluoroquinoline (X = CF3, H) in Reactions with Nucleophiles

A systematic study of the direction of nucleophilic attack of the nucleophiles Me₃MEMe₂ (M = Si, Sn; E = P, As), NaOMe, LiR (R = Me, nBu, Ph) and PhMgBr on 5, 6, 7, 8‐tetrafluoroquinoline ( 1 ), 6‐CF₃‐5, 7, 8‐trifluoroquinoline ( 2 ) and 5, 7, 8‐trifluoroquinoline ( 3 ) was performed with the aim to develop synthetic routes to specific functional derivatives and to gain a deeper insight into the mechanisms governing the regioselectivity. With the fairly “soft” nucleophiles Me₃MEMe₂ in general mixtures of 7‐Me₂EC‐(main product) and 6‐Me₂EC‐derivatives (side product) are formed (Schemes 1, 2, 4). Sulfuration of the isomer mixtures with E = P yields mixtures of the corresponding thiophosphano derivatives. The observed regioselectivity is explained by a concerted action of two factors: (i) The influence of the heteroatom N on the stabilization of the σ‐complex type transition states and (ii) the collective effect of four fluorine substituents favouring 6‐ and 7‐substitution. — The reaction of 1 with sodium methoxide (Scheme 3) was carried out to test the early conclusion on the exclusive formation of 7‐methoxy‐5, 6, 8‐trifluoroquinoline ( 14 ) [2], made on the basis of a GC‐analysis. For that purpose the molar ratio 1 : MeO^— was varied from 1 : 1.25 over 1 : 1 to 1 : 0.5. — In the reactions of the quinoline precursors 1 — 3 with the organometallic reagents LiR (R = Me, nBu, Ph) and PhMgBr (Scheme 5) products of the nucleophile‐addition at position 2 were obtained in high yields, which with hydrochloric acid led to 2‐R‐1, 2‐dihydro‐5, 6, 7, 8‐tetrafluoroquinolines. In contact with air or by reaction with MnO₂, oxidation to aromatic 2‐R‐5, 6, 7, 8‐tetrafluoroquinolines occurred. To rationalize the observed differences between the “soft” Me₃MEMe₂ and the “hard” carbon‐centred nucleophiles, two different hypothetic mechanisms are discussed. Since most of the compounds have been obtained in reaction mixtures, the assignment to structural formulae is mainly based on GCMS and CMS analyses together with ¹H‐, ¹⁹F‐ and ³¹P NMR data and comparison with literature information and with spectra registered for individual compounds. In addition, the molecular structures of the representatives 6 , 20 and 29 , determined by X‐ray analyses, prove the structural formulae deduced from the spectra of products.     

[3 + 2] Cycloaddition of Diazomethane Derivatives to Perfluoro-2-phosphapropene

Perfluoro-2-phosphapropene ( 1 ) reacts with diazo compounds R(H)C=N₂ (R = H ( 2 a ), Ph ( 2 b ), CO₂Et ( 2 c ), Me₃Si ( 2 d )) at low temperatures regioselectively yielding via 1,3-H shift the novel 1,2,3-diazaphospholes 4 a – d . The mesomerically stabilized compounds 4 b and 4 c were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Using diphenyldiazomethane 5 as partner for 1 , the cycloaddition is spontaneously followed by N₂ elimination to give the crystalline phosphirane derivative 7 . The analogous reaction of 1 with 9-diazofluorene 9 unexpectedly leads to the so-far unknown 1,2-diphosphinane compound 11 . Quantum chemical calculations for the gas phase on DFT and RHF level prove that for both the perhydro- and the perfluoro-2-phosphapropene the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition is kinetically determined and that, due to high stability of the products, the thermodynamic equilibrium with the slightly more stable isomers is not accessible.

Perfluoromethyl-Element-Ligands. XVII. Formation of Adducts of Me_nE(CF₃)_3?n Ligands with BX₃ Compounds (Me = CH₃; E = P, As, Sb; n = 0–3; X = H, CH₃, Hal) The ligands Me_nE(CF₃)_3?n (Me = CH₃; E = P, As, Sb; n = 0–3) have been prepared (partly using new methods) and studied by n.m.r. spectroscopy (¹H, ¹⁹F, ³¹P, ¹³C). In order to deduce their relative donor strength their reactions with the Lewis acids “BH₃”, BMe₃, BMe₃, Me₂BBr, and BX₃ (X = F, Cl, Br) have been studied. Control of adduct formation occurs by n.m.r. spectroscopy (¹H, ¹⁹F). The following series of decreasing basicity or acidity are obtained:      

Alternativ-Liganden. VIII. Chelatkomplexe des Typs M(CO)4(Me2XGeMe2CH2X′Me2) (M = Cr,Mo, W; X,X′ = N,P, As; Me = CH3)

Chelate Complexes of the Type M(CO)₄(Me₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂) (M) = Cr, Mo, W; X, X′ = N, P, As; Me = CH₃) The ligands (Me₂)XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (M) = Cr, Mo, W) react with M(CO)₄norbor (norbor = Norbornadiene) (M = Cr, Mo, W) yielding the chelate complexes M(CO)₄(Me)₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂). compounds of low thermal stability are formed with the ligands (Me₂NGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ because of the weak donor ability of the GeNMe₂ group and with Me₂AsGeMe₂CH₂NMe₂ caused by strong steric ring tension. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., m.s.) investigations.
