Abstract
The condensation of N1-benzimidazolyl amidines 1 with tris(dimethy- lamino)phosphine leads to the corresponding [1,2a]Benzimidazolo-1,3,5,2-triazaphosphorines 3 . The N2-phosphoroamidine intermediates 2′ are isolated and yielded the corresponding cyclic compounds 4 upon heating. The oxidation by sulfur of the compounds 3 gives the thiooxide derivatives 4 .
The structure of these compounds is unambiguously confirmed by IR, 1H, 31P, and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by MS for some products.
