Abstract
Reaction of the 1,3,2,4-diazadiphosphetidine, trans-[C6H5N(H)P(S)NC6H5]2 with LiR (R = Me, n-Bu) followed by treatment of the resulting dianions with Me3SiCl and Me3GeBr produced trans-[C6H5N(R)P(S)NC6H5]2(R = Me3Si, 2; Me3Ge, 3). Substitution occurs without cis-trans isomerization or significant cleavage of the 1,3,2,4-diazadiphosphetidine ring. 2 and 3 have been characterized by spectral (1H and 31P NMR, IR, and MS) and elemental analytical data. Analogous reactions involving Me3SnCl yield mixtures containing [C6H5N(SnMe3)P(S)NC6H5]2 which could not be isolated or completely characterized.
