- Ring size effects in cyclic fluorophosphites: Ligands that span the bonding space between phosphites and PF3
-
The 5- to 8-membered cyclic fluorophosphites L5-8 have been prepared from the corresponding chlorophosphites which are derived from dihydroxyarenes or bis(trimethylsiloxy)arenes. Ligand L5 is very sensitive to hydrolysis but L6-8 are much more kinetically robust. The coordination chemistry of L5-8 has been explored with Mo(0), Pt(0) and Rh(i) and it is shown that the π-acceptor properties of L5-8 increase with decreasing ring size. The IR spectra and X-ray crystal structures of the [Mo(CO)4L2] complexes show that L5-8 lie between PF3 and P(OAr)3 in terms of their σ/π-bonding properties. The [PtL4] complexes are readily prepared from [Pt(nbe)3] and 4 equiv. of L5-8 whereas equilibrium mixtures of PtLx(nbe)y species form when 2 equiv. of L5-8 are added to [Pt(nbe)3]. The CO substitution reactions of [Rh2Cl2(CO)4] with L5-8 to give [Rh2Cl2L4] are evidence of the PF3-like ligand properties of L5-8. The trends in the properties of L5-8 are analysed in terms of their proximity to PF3 or P(OPh)3.

- Synthesis of new organophosphorus compounds using the atherton-todd reaction as a versatile tool
-
This article discusses the behavior of seven organophosphorus compounds under Atherton-Todd conditions. Therefore, the reactivity and selectivity of different (phen)oxaphosphinines, dioxaphosphinines, dioxaphosphinanes, and diphenylphosphine oxide with three nucleophiles were systematically studied. The results prove the versatility of the Atherton-Todd reaction to a broad range of organophosphorus compounds with different phosphorus environments and reactive Pi-H bonds. The nucleophiles studied in this article were chosen as model substrates for amines and alcohols. Because organophosphorus molecules are important and versatile compounds, for a broad field of applications, novel synthetic approaches are of interest to both academia and industry. As an example, the single-step synthesis of the bridged 1,3-phenylene bis(diphenylphosphinate) with potential flame-retardant properties was added to this study. In addition, the reaction is utilized for the synthesis of a novel organophosphorus anhydride.
