Abstract: | On Trichlorophosphazo Compounds from Nitriles. III. The Reaction between Acrylonitrile and PCl3. The reaction of PCl3 with acrylonitrile at higher temperatures gives CH2Cl? CCl2? CCl2? N? PCl3 ( II ). On pyrolysis of (II), CH2Cl? CCl2? CN (IV) is form- ed. Treatment of (II) with SO, results in CHzCL? CCl2? CCl?N-P(0)Cl2 ( III ). At lower temperatures and/or in the presence of PCl3, acrylonitrile reacts with PCl3 to give the cis/ trans isomers VIa and VIb . |
