Abstract
2-[(4-bromophenylamino)-methyl]-phenol (1) gave substantially pure 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,3,2]- oxazaphosphinine (2) on cyclization with phenyldichlorophosphine in toluene at 0 °C. Reaction of 2 with H2O2 in dichloromethane gave selectively 3. P-chalcogenides (4 and 5) were prepared by reacting 2 with elemental S and Se powder in toluene, whereas the tungsten pentacarbonyl complex 6 was prepared by reacting 2 with [W(CO)5(CH3CN)] in tetrahydrofuran at 25 °C.
