Abstract
Based on its reactions with various nucleophiles both geminal and non-geminal structures have been earlier proposed for N3P3Cl4(NH2)2, although its geminal structure is now considered established. The reactions of this compound with alcohols have been investigated and the products examined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Evidence for both unrearranged as well as geminal → non-geminal rearranged alcoholysis products is presented.
