Synthesis and characterization of some perfluorophenylphosphine derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50037a027

Bis(pentafluorophenyl)chlorophosphine and pentafluorophenyldichlorophosphine are prepared in good yields from pentafluorophenylmagnesium bromide and phosphorus trichloride. The reactions of the halophosphines with the Lewis bases water, ammonia, dimethylamine, and 2-methylaziridine produced substituted phosphines. Oxidative chlorination of bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphinamide followed by dehydrohalogenation gave perfluorophenylphosphonitriles. The infrared and pertinent proton magnetic resonance spectra of these compounds are discussed.
