Abstract
Hydrazidoyl halides 1a reacted with diethylphosphonoacetonitrile (2a) in sodium ethoxide to yield the hydrazine derivative 4a which readily cyclized to form the corresponding diazaphosphole 5 . The latter was hydrolyzed to form the final product 6, with the formation of a low yield of a second product 7a . Similarly 1b, c reacted with diethylphosphonoacetonitrile and triethylphosphonoacetate 2a, b to produce the corresponding diazaphospholes 6b–d . Interaction of hydrazidoyl halides 1b, d–g with Lawesson's reagent in dry toluene produced 1,3,4-thiadiazaphosphole derivatives 10b, d, e and 11f, g respectively.
