spectra of 7a,b and 8b, doublets (7a: 38.1, 7b: 41.2, 8b: 33.9
ppm) with large 31P-1H coupling constants are observed (7a: 1JP-

new type of P,N ligands. Further investigations in this area are

for support with X-ray crystallography.
Using a Grignard reagent, namely, ethylmagnesium bromide, as
nucleophile in the reaction with endo-4b also leads to P-N bond
cleavage. Hydrolytic workup followed by sulfur protection and
recrystallization from boiling propan-2-ol gave 9b in 70 % yield

In conclusion, the phospha-aza-Diels–Alder reaction between
2H-phospholes and electron-poor imine 3 are an innovative and
efficient route to the new compound class of 1-phospha-2-
azanorbornenes. The Diels–Alder reaction itself is of normal
electron demand, highly chemoselective, and moderately endo
selective. The isolated 1-phospha-2-azanorbornenes were
characterized by the common analytical methods, including X-
ray structure analysis. The formed P-N bond is highly reactive
