Similarly, phosphorinanone 5 was reacted with ethylamine or
isobutylamine and formaldehyde via the Mannich reaction to yield
the new PN analogues 7 and 8. The spectroscopic data19 of 7 and 8
were very similar to 6 as they adopted a mirror symmetrical chair–
chair conformation in solution.

14. Preparation of 4-phenyl-2,6-di(carbomethoxy)-3,5-bis(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-
4-phosphacyclohexanone (5):
PN ligand 6 was reacted with [PtMe2(1,5-hexadiene)] to form the
square planar complex [PtMe2(6)] (9).20 The 31P NMR spectrum
showed a single resonance at 14.6 ppm with 195Pt satellites of
2036 Hz. The 1H NMR spectrum of 9 was simple indicating that
the coordinated PN ligand retained its plane of symmetry upon
coordination to platinum.

The NMR signals for the methyl groups in 9 were differentiated as a
result of being trans to the different donor atoms: the methyl group
trans to phosphorus resonated at 1.35 ppm in the 1H NMR spec-
trum, while the methyl trans to nitrogen appeared at 1.43 ppm.
Both signals were doublets with JPH values of 7.5 Hz. The trans-ef-
fect of P and N was much more pronounced in the 13C NMR chem-
ical shifts of the methyl groups: the methyl trans to phosphorus
resonated at 11.2 ppm as a doublet (JPC = 114.6 Hz) with 195Pt satel-
lites of 727 Hz, whereas the methyl group trans to nitrogen ap-
peared at À20.9 ppm as a doublet (JPC = 3.7 Hz) with a slightly
larger 195Pt coupling constant of 787 Hz. The above NMR data con-
firm that PN ligand 6 is bonded to platinum via both donor atoms,
hence maintaining its chair–chair conformation.
In conclusion, novel phosphorus–nitrogen derivatives of the
bispidinones were synthesised by the Mannich reaction of phos-
phorinanone 5 with primary amines and formaldehyde. The new
bicyclic PN compounds adopted a rigid chair–chair conformation
both in solution and solid states. This conformation is favourable
as it presets a bidentate capability for such PN compounds to serve
as chelating ligands for transition metals.
