Abstract
The reactions of 2-(3-lithiophenyl)-1, 3-dioxane and 2-(4-lithiophenyl)-2-methyl-1, 3-dioxane with hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene have been examined. Subsequent deacetalization to give the unprotected carbonyl compounds has been achieved. The new carbonyl functionalized aryl phosphazenes were characterized by mass spectrometry and infrared and nmr (1H, 13C, 31P) spectroscopy.
