The reactions of pentachloro(2′, 2′, 2′‐triphenylphosphazen‐1′‐yl)cyclotriphosphazene, N3P3Cl5(NPPh3), with primary and secondary amines have been investigated using diethyl ether, methyl cyanid or benzene as the solvent. The structures of the products obtained, N3P3Cl5minus;nRn(NPPh3) [n = 1, R = NHMe, NHBut, NMe2, NC5H10, NEt2; n = 2, R = NMe2, NC5H10, NEt2; n = 3, R = NMe2, NHBut; n = 5, R = NMe2] are elucidated by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The NPPh3 substituent exerts a pronounced geminal directing influence on incoming secondary amino nucleophiles; compounds containing a ≡ PCl(NPPh3) group are not formed at the bis and subsequent stages of chlorine replacement. The reactions that involve primary amines follow the pattern established for the analogous reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene. The effect of solvent and possible mechanism(s) are discussed.
