Abstract
The reaction of the a-trimethylsiloxy-phosphoryl compounds Ph2C˭C(OSiMe3)P(:O)R2 [R = Me2N, OMe, OPh] with F3B · OEt2 yielded the donor-acceptor-complexes 1-3 by cleavage of the Si‒O bond and elimination of Me3SiF and Et2O. The complexes 4 and 5 were formed analogously by the reaction of Me(Ph)C˭C(OSiMe3)P(:O)R2 [R = Me, Ph] with F3B · OEt2. The reaction of dimethyl- and diphenyl-2-trimethylsiloxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl phosphinate with F3B · OEt2 produced the seven-membered ring-systems 6 and 7. Analogous products, 8-11, were formed by the reaction of (RO)2P(:O)OR1 [R = Me, 1Pr; R1 = 9-(10 trimethylsiloxy)phenanthryl, 2-trimethylsiloxy-3,4,5,6-tetrachlorophenyl] with F3B · OEt2. The reaction of Me2P(:O)C(OSiMe3)(H)CCl3 with F3B · OEt2 produced the 1:1 complex 12 without cleavage of the Si‒O bond. From α-hydroxy phosphine oxides and F3B · OEt2 similarly, the 1:1 complexes, 13 and 14, were formed. Diphenyl-2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl phosphinate reacted with F3B · OEt2 to give the 1:1 complex 15. The structure of 15 was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis; the bond lengths at the bridging oxygen are P-O1 151.7, B-O1 152.8 pm. The donor-acceptorinteraction between the phosphoryl group and the boron atom was established by 19F-,31P- and, in the case of 6, 7, 11, and 15, by 11B-n.m.r-spectroscopy.
