Abstract: | Deprotonation of aminophosphaalkenes (RMe2Si)2C?PN(H)(R′) (R=Me, iPr; R′=tBu, 1‐adamantyl (1‐Ada), 2,4,6‐tBu3C6H2 (Mes*)) followed by reactions of the corresponding Li salts Li(RMe2Si)2C?P(M)(R′)] with one equivalent of the corresponding P‐chlorophosphaalkenes (RMe2Si)2C?PCl provides bisphosphaalkenes (2,4‐diphospha‐3‐azapentadienes) (RMe2Si)2C?P]2NR′. The thermally unstable tert‐butyliminobisphosphaalkene (Me3Si)2C?P]2NtBu ( 4 a ) undergoes isomerisation reactions by Me3Si‐group migration that lead to mixtures of four‐membered heterocyles, but in the presence of an excess amount of (Me3Si)2C?PCl, 4 a furnishes an azatriphosphabicyclohexene C3(SiMe3)5P3NtBu ( 5 ) that gave red single crystals. Compound 5 contains a diphosphirane ring condensed with an azatriphospholene system that exhibits an endocylic P?C double bond and an exocyclic ylidic P(+)? C(?)(SiMe3)2 unit. Using the bulkier iPrMe2Si substituents at three‐coordinated carbon leads to slightly enhanced thermal stability of 2,4‐diphospha‐3‐azapentadienes (iPrMe2Si)2C?P]2NR′ (R′=tBu: 4 b ; R′=1‐Ada: 8 ). According to a low‐temperature crystal‐structure determination, 8 adopts a non‐planar structure with two distinctly differently oriented P?C sites, but 31P NMR spectra in solution exhibit singlet signals. 31P NMR spectra also reveal that bulky Mes* groups (Mes*=2,4,6‐tBu3C6H2) at the central imino function lead to mixtures of symmetric and unsymmetric rotamers, thus implying hindered rotation around the P? N bonds in persistent compounds (RMe2Si)2C?P]2NMes* ( 11 a , 11 b ). DFT calculations for the parent molecule (H3Si)2C?P]2NCH3 suggest that the non‐planar distortion of compound 8 will have steric grounds. |
