Abstract: | The reaction of phosphorus tribromide with phenylhydrazones of heterocyclic aldehydes leads to formation of a new phosphorus‐containing heterocyclic system—heterocondensed 1,2,3‐diazaphosphorines. Properties of the phosphorus‐containing heterocyclic compounds that have been synthesized are described. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 12:658–664, 2001 |
