Photolysis of Ph2P(O)N3 in benzene containing MeOH gives a high yield (72percent) of the phosphonamidate PhP(O)(OMe)NHPh (3) resulting from Curtius-like rearrangement.When some of the benzene solvent is replaced by Me2S the yield of the rearrangement prod
DIARYLPHOSPHINIC AZIDES. PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIONS INCLUDING REARRANGEMENT IN METHANOL

On photolysis in methanol the diarylphosphinic azides Ar2P(O)N3 (Ar=phenyl, p-tolyl, p-anisyl, p-chlorophenyl) rearrange with loss of nitrogen to form (monomeric) metaphosphonimidates which are trapped by the solvent to give methyl NP-diarylphosphonamidates (7) (41-53percent).Diarylphosphinic amides (18-42percent) are also usually formed, presumably from (triplet) nitrenes.The limited evidence available suggests that the rearrangements take place directly from the photo-excited azides rather than via (singlet) nitrene intermediates.One of the products of rearrangement, methyl NP-di(p-chlorophenyl)phosphonamidate, suffers extensive photochemical dechlorination giving methyl N-phenyl-P-p-chlorophenylphosphonamidate.
