Cyclotetraphosphazanes 2 and 5 obtained from 1,2-diamines are 1,3,2-diazaphosphole oligomers leading to the monomeric form by either thermal equilibrium or by complexing with boron trifluoride. The dicoordinated form stabilized by an orthophenylene ring could explain the reactivity of 4,5-benzo 1,3,2-diazaphosphole 3 with compounds having a mobile hydrogen; these reactions were a 1.2 type addition while butanol led to a 1.1 type addition with complexed 1,3,2-diazaphospholes 4 and 8.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
