Wittig-Homer reagent l a reacts with 2-nitroso-I-naphthol 3 to give the olefinic adduct 5, the alkylated product 4 and the dimeric compound 6. When 2-nitroso-I-naphthol 3 reacts with Wittig-Homer reagents 1b.c. the corresponding phosphonate adducts 8a.b together with compounds 4 and 6 were obtained. Oxovinylidenetriphenylphosphorane 2 reacts with 3 to give the corresponding phosphoranylidenecyclobutylidene adduct 10 and triphenylphosphine oxide. The structural assignnlents of the new products are based on compatible analytical and spectroscopic results.Keywords: Wittig-Homer reagents (I-); phosphacumulene (2); 2-nitroso-1-naphthol 3; 'Ihe alkylaled product 4; the olefinic adducts 5; the dimeric product 6; the phosphonate adducts 8a, band the phosphonnylidene cyclobutylidene adduct 10
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.
