769
To a slurry of compound IV in 30 ml of CH2Cl2 was
added dropwise at vigorous stirring a solution of 0.66 ml
(13 mmol) of bromine in 5 ml of CH2Cl2 (–40°C). The re-
action mixture was stirred gradually worming to the room
temperature thus obtaining the solution of compound II.
zo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphols with terminal acetylenes [14].
In this study we carried out for the first time the phos-
phorylation of the p-terphenyl derivative, 3,4,3'',4''-tet-
rahydroxy-1,1':4',1''-terphenyl (I) with PBr3 followed by
the bromination and the reaction was investigated of the
obtained bis(phosphorane) II with phenylacetylene. To
improve the selectivity of the phosphorylation compound
I was first converted into tetrakis(trimethylsilyl) ether III
by treating with trimethylchlorosilane and triethylamine.
On adding compound III to excess PBr3 2',2''-dibromo-
1,4-di(benzo-1,3,2-λ3-dioxaphosphol-5-yl)benzene (IV)
formed quantitatively, that was characterized by a singlet
in the 31P NMR spectrum at δ 198 ppm. The Me3SiBr
formed at this stage and excess PBr3 are easily removed
in a vacuum.
To a solution of diphosphol II was added dropwise at
stirring a solution of 2.6 ml (24 mmol) of phenylacetylene
in 5 ml of CH2Cl2 (–10 × 0°C). Therewith compound V
was obtained. 31P-{1H} NMR spectrum (31P) (CH2Cl2),
δ, ppm: 9.4 s , 9.3 br.d ( 2JPC H 26.4 Hz).

From the solution of compound V the solvent and
volatile products were removed in a vacuum, the residue
was kept in air for 4 h, washed with hexane, dissolved in
acetone, and precipitated by ethanol. The formed light-
brown precipitate was filtered off, washed with a little
acetone and ether, and dried in a vacuum. After several
crystallizations from ethanol we isolated 1.77 g (63%)
of compound VI, mp >350°C. IR spectrum, cm–1: 3435,

(H6', 3JHCCH 8.2, 4JHCCCH 1.8 Hz), 7.88 s (H2,3,5,6), 7.40–
7.54 m (C4'Ph). 13C NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6), δ, ppm:

The bromination of diphosphol IV with bromine was
carried out in CH2Cl2 solution (–10...–15°C). As a result
we obtained 2',2',2',2'',2'',2''-hexabromo-1,4-di(benzo-
1,3,2-λ5-dioxaphosphol-5-yl)benzene (II), which due to
its instability against hydrolysis was brought into the re-
action with phenylacetylene without further purification.
The reaction afforded a single product, 2',2''-dibromo-
2',2''-dioxo-4',4''-diphenyl-1,4-di(benzo[e]-1,2-oxa-
phosphorin-7-yl)-benzene (V) in the form of two diaste-
reomers in approximately equal ratio. Their appearance is
due to the presence in the molecule of two asymmetrical
phosphorus atoms.

The high selectivity should be stressed of the process
of the ipso-substitution of the oxygen atoms in both dioxa-
phosphol fragments in the para-position to the 1,4-phen-
ylene substituents. No bromine is introduced in the annu-
lated phenylene fragment of diphosphorine V in contrast
to the reactions of the unsubstituted benzodioxaphosphols
[15]. After the hydrolysis 2',2''-dihydroxy-2',2''-dioxo-
4',4''-diphenyl-1,4-di(benzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphorin-7-yl)
benzene (VI) was isolated whose structure was estab-
lished by spectral methods.

2',2''-Dihydroxy-2',2''-dioxo-4',4''-diphenyl-1,4-
di(benzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphorin-7-yl)benzene (VI). To
11.4 ml (120 mmol) pf phosphorus tribromide was added
dropwise under dry argon atmosphere while stirring a so-
lution of 2.77 g (4.8 mmol) of silyl ether III [16] in 15 ml
of benzene.After 24 h benzene and volatile products were
distilled off from the reaction mixture at the atmospheric
pressure and then in a vacuum (12 mm Hg) excess PBr3
was removed. As a residue a light-yellow thick oily sub-
stance was obtained, compound IV. 31P NMR spectrum
(CH2Cl2): δ 198.3 ppm
Compounds I and III were obtained by procedures
[16, 17]. 1H, 13C, 13C-{1H}, 31P, 31P-{1H} NMR spectra
were registered on a spectrometer Bruker Avance-400
[400 (1H), 162.0 (31P), 100.6 MHz (13C)] using as internal
reference the signals of the residual protons or carbon
atoms of the solvent, and as external reference, H3PO4.
IR spectrum was recorded on an instrument Bruker Vec-
tor-22 from mull in mineral oil.
