Abstract
The reaction of N,N′-dimethylanthranilic amide with phosphorus trichloride furnished 3, the first compound of P(III), involving the 1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorinanone ring system. In the reaction of 3 with N-trimethylsilyl-N,N′,N′-trimethylethylenediamine 2 the product 4 was formed. The possibility of in tramolecular donor-acceptor-interaction between the nitrogen atom of the (CH3)2N group and the λ3P atom was investigated by 1H n.m.r. studies. No interaction was observed. Oxidative addition of elemental sulfur at the λ3P atom of 4 gave the λ4P-thiophosphoryl compound 5 while the reaction of 4 with methyl iodide and bromine, in an unusual reaction, furnished the ammonium salts 6 and 7. The N-Br bond in 7 was established by IR-spectroscopy. In the reaction of 4 with C7H8Cr(C0)4 (C7H″ = norbornadiene) a substitution product 8, involving intramolecular coordination of 4 to Cr(O) via λ3P and the nitrogen atom of the (CH3)2N grouping was formed. By contrast, the reaction of C7118Mo(CO)3 (C7H8 = cycloheptatriene) with 4 (= L) yielded the complex L3Mo(CO), 9 in which three ligands 4 are coordinated to Mo(O) via the λ3P atom only.
