Preparation and Reactivity of a Triphosphenium Bromide Salt: A Convenient and Stable Source of Phosphorus(I)
Published on: November 22, 2016
N-(2,6-Difluoro-benzo-yl)-P,P-bis-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)phosphinic amide
Abstract:
The phosphoryl and carbonyl groups in the title compound, C(15)H(20)F(2)N(3)O(2)P, are anti with respect to each other (but the P- and C-groups are separated by another atom) and the P atom is in a tetra-hedral coordination environment. Two C atoms in one of the pyrrolidinyl fragments are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.746 (8) and 0.254 (8). The environments of the pyrrolidinyl N atoms show a slight deviation from planarity and none of the three N atoms is involved in any hydrogen bond as an acceptor. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers.
