Tetra-methyl N,N'-(2,2,3,3,4,4-hexa-fluoro-1,5-dioxopentane-1,5-di-yl)bis-(phospho-ramidate)
Abstract:
The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(9)H(14)F(6)N(2)O(8)P(2), lies on a twofold rotation axis that passes through the middle C atom of the three-atom fluoro-methyl-ene unit. The carbonyl and phosphoryl groups are in an antiperiplanar conformation. In the crystal, N-H⋯O=P hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into polymeric chains parallel to the c axis.

02:30Chirality at Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur
Chirality is most prevalent in carbon-based tetrahedral compounds, but this important facet of molecular symmetry extends to sp3-hybridized nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur centers, including trivalent molecules with lone pairs. Here, the lone pair behaves as a functional group in addition to the other three substituents to form an analogous tetrahedral center that can be chiral.
A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...

01:11ortho–para-Directing Activators: –CH3, –OH, –NH2, –OCH3
All ortho–para directors, excluding halogens, are activating groups. These groups donate electrons to the ring, making the ring carbons electron-rich. Consequently, the reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution increases. For instance, the nitration of anisole is about 10,000 times faster than the nitration of benzene. The electron-donating effect of the methoxy group in anisole activates the ortho and para positions on the ring and stabilizes the corresponding...
