Compounds 5a–g. General Procedure: A solution of the correspond-
ing aryl azide (3 mmol) in C6H6 (3 mL) was added to a frozen
solution of compound 6 (0.56 g, 3 mmol) in C6H6 (3 mL). During
the melting of the frozen benzene, the evolution of N2 was ob-
served; after a few hours, the reaction product began to precipitate.
After the time noted in Table 1 (31P NMR control) the reaction
mixture was filtered, the product was washed with benzene
(3ϫ1 mL), and dried in vacuo. For additional analytical and spec-
troscopic data of compounds 5a–g see Supporting Information.

Amide (11). (a): A solution of dimethylamine (0.1 g, 2.2 mmol) in
C6H6 (1 mL) was added to a solution of compound 9 (0.4 g,
1.25 mmol) in C6H6 (3 mL). After 24 h, the solvent was removed
in vacuo, and the product was purified by recrystallization from
hexane at –15 °C. Yield 0.35 g (78%). (b): A solution of compound
8 (0.43 g, 2.7 mmol) in C6H6 (2 mL) was added to a solution of

ture was refluxed for 30 min, and the solvent was then removed in
vacuo. After 15 h, the by-product precipitated and was removed,
the mother liquor was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was
recrystallized from pentane (3 mL). M.p. 123–124 °C. Yield 0.32 g

P,P-Di-tert-butyl-NЈЈЈ-mesitylphosphinimidic Isocyanate (9): A solu-
tion of azide 8 (0.48 g, 4 mmol) in C6H6 (4 mL) was added to a
frozen solution of compound 6 (0.79 g, 4 mmol) in C6H6 (5 mL).
During the melting of the frozen benzene, the evolution of N2 and
a strong exothermic effect were observed. The temperature of the
reaction mixture was kept in the range 15–20 °C. The reaction was
complete after 15 min, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The
product was extracted with pentane (2ϫ10 mL), and, after the sol-
vent was removed, the product was purified by vacuum distillation.
