Lineare Oligophosphaalkane, XX [1]: Alkalimetall-und Trimethylsilylderivate PH-funktioneller Methylenbisphosphane / Linear Oligophosphaalkanes, XX [1]: Alkali Metal and Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of PH-Functional Methylenebisphosphanes

Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of the PH-functional methylenebisphosphanes, R2-n(Me3 Si)nP-CH2 -PR(SiMe3) (R = Me, iPr, tBu, Ph, 2.4.6-Me3C6H2 ; n = 0.1) is reported. In the Li-phosphides R2-nLinP - CH2 - PLiR used as reactive intermediates, a monomer-oligomer association equilibrium causes a rapid Li-exchange as indicated by the solvent and temperature dependent 31P{1H} and 7Li NMR spectrum of (iPr)2 P-CH2 -P(iPr)Li in various solvents (Et2O, THF and MTHF) in the temperature range from 30 to -110 °C. For the syntheses of the Me-and Ph-substituted PH-functional methylenebisphosphanes R2P-CH2 -PRH and RHP-CH2 -PRH (R = Me, Ph) the chlorophosphane CKP -CH2 -PCl2 is used as a starting material. Bifunctional substituents (Ph -N̍-N̍ -Ph and Me -N̍-CO-N̍-Me) are employed for the first time as protecting groups to block one or two PCl-functions in Cl2P-CH2-PCI2,. Cleavage of the PN-bonds in the five membered ring systems (R = Me, Ph) with HCl affords the P-substituted methylenebis-chlorophosphanes RClP-CH2 - PClR in satisfactory yields. The compounds have been characterized by 1H, 13 C{1H} and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. With-in homologous substitution series of methylenebisphosphanes, e.g. R2P-CH2-PR2-nHnthe coupling constants 2J(PP) seem to reflect conformational changes at the PCP-skeleton.
