Substituent exchange reactions of sodium 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxide with trimeric and tetrameric aryloxycyclophosphazenes with phenoxy, 4-formylphenoxy, 4-cyanophenoxy and 4-nitrophenoxy side groups were conducted at 66°C in THF and monitored by 31P NMR and mass spectrometry. These are model reactions for their counterparts with high polymeric linear organophosphazenes. The ease of displacement of OAr in cyclic trimeric and tetrameric molecules by CF3CH2O increased significantly with the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents in the polyphosphazene in the order, phenoxy ? 4-formylphenoxy 4-cyanophenoxy ≈ 4-nitrophenoxy. Fully substituted 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxyphosphazene trimer and tetramer were formed by side group exchange, but these reactions were followed by an attack by the nucleophile on the α-carbon of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy groups linked to phosphorus to give a species in which one trifluoroethoxy group had been replaced by an ONa unit, and bis(trifluoroethyl) ether was formed as a side product. On the other hand, only partly exchanged species were formed when sodium phenoxide reacted with the trifluoroethoxy phosphazene trimer and tetramer, but again a product with an ONa side group was formed eventually together with phenyltrifluoroethyl ether generated via alpha-carbon attack. The relative sensitivity of 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy and phenoxyphosphazene cyclic trimers and tetramers to the presence of trifluoroethoxide was established.

The reaction of octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene (N4P4Cl8) with sodium trifluoroethoxide gives rise to mixtures of products which deteriorate on storage and are difficult to purify.At least twenty chloro(trifluoroethoxy)cyclotetraphosphazenes, N4P4Cl8-n(OCH2CF3)n, n = 1-7, and their dimethylamino derivatives, N4P4(NMe2)8-n(OCH2CF3)n, have been identified by GLC, GC-MS and NMR techniques.Substantial amounts of derivatives containing P(OCH2CF3)2 group(s) are formed at the tris and tetrakis stages of chlorine replacement.At the bis stage only 2,6- and 2,4-substituted products are obtained and at the hexakis stage the 2-trans-6-isomer is the major product.

Full title: Reaction of mono- and dilithioferrocene with octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene. The crystal and molecular structures of N4P4Cl6[(η-C5H 4)Fe(η-C5H5)]2 and N3P3Cl4[(η-C5H 4)Fe(η-C5H5)]N4P 4Cl7. New and unusual derivatives of cyclophosphazenes bearing ferrocene substituents have been synthesized by the reactions of mono- and dilithioferrocene with octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene, (NPCl2)4, and with equimolar mixtures of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, (NPCl2)3, and (NPCl2)4. The reactions of monolithioferrocene with (NPCl2)4 gave N4P4Cl6[(η,-C5H 4)Fe(η-C5H5)]2 (4) in which the tetrameric ring has contracted to give a cyclic trimer with a phosphorus-nitrogen-phosphorus pendent chain. The two ferrocene units were found to be attached to the terminal phosphorus atom of this chain. The structure of 4 was examined by X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals of 4 are monoclinic of space group P21/c with a = 11.199 (3) A? b = 22.774 (7) A?, c = 11.504 (7) A?, β = 104.81 (3)°, V = 2837 (4) A?3, and Z = 4. The structure was refined to discrepancy indices R = 0.055 and Rw = 0.063. The most striking feature of the molecule is the structure of the pendent chain. Here, the bond angle at nitrogen is unusually wide, being 142.7 (3)°. Also, the single bond between this nitrogen atom and the ring phosphorus (1.54 A?) is significantly shorter than the supposed double bond to the terminal phosphorus atom of the chain (1.57 A?). These observations are compatible with appreciable delocalization within the phosphorus-nitrogen skeleton. The reactions of lithioferrocene with a 1:1 molar mixture of (NPCl2)3 and (NPCl2)4 gave the bi(cyclophosphazenes), N3P3Cl4[(η-C5H 4)Fe(η-C5H4X)]N4P 4Cl7 (5a, X = H; 5b, X = Cl). The structure of 5a was also examined by X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals of 5a were triclinic of space group P1 with a = 12 899 (5) A?, b = 14.206 (3) A?, c = 10.003 (4) A?, α = 99.77 (3)°, β = 105.76 (3)°, γ = 112.99 (2)°, V = 1543 (2) A?3, and Z = 2. The structure was refined to discrepancy indices R = 0.053 and Rw = 0.061. The most striking feature of this molecule is the linkage of the cyclic trimeric and tetrameric rings by a P-P bond. This is the first example of a trimer-tetramer bi(cyclophosphazene). Possible mechanisms leading to the formation of these ferrocenylphosphazenes are also discussed.
The partial aminolysis of (NPF2)3,4

Unlike the reactions of (NPCl2)3,4 with simple amines, the fluorocyclophosphazenes, (NPF2)3,4, react with methylamine, n-butylamine, or dimethylamine with replacement of only one fluorine atom per phosphorus to yield products such as N4P4F5(NHMe)3, N4P4F4(NHMe)4, N4P4F5(NHC4H9) 3, N4P4F5(NMe2)3, N4P4F4(NMe2)4, N3P3F4(NHMe)2, N3P3-F4(NHC4H9) 2, or N3P3F4(NMe2)2. This behavior cannot be ascribed to steric effects because nucleophiles such as CF3CH2ONa, C6H5ONa, and (CH3)2NLi readily replace all the fluorine atoms. The results are more compatible with an explanation based on the poor leaving-group ability of fluoride combined with the low nucleophilicity of the free amines, compared with the higher leaving-group ability of chloride and the high nucleophilicity of alkoxides, aryl oxides, or metal amides.
