I. Purpose of the Research Program

The 7-phosphanorbornene system is synthetically readily approached, and

because of the considerable strain involved in the bridged structure, along wth

a mechanism provided by the double bond for a retro-cycloaddition process, this

system was considered as a potential precursor of a variety of phosphorus

species with low coordination numbers. The ring strain is known to permit the

insertion of oxygen into a C-P bond, thus creating another ring system

potentially capable of undergoing a retro[4+2] cycloaddition to release a

phosphoryl compound of low coordination. A further extension of this concept

could result in the synthesis of species with C-P double bonds, from the

SPihsphdbalicVclo[2.2.2]octene system. To explore these possibilities, syntheses of

suitable precursors are required. This report summarizes work both on the

precursor syntheses, as well as on the successful generation of several

low-coordination species. The original concept behind the project has been

amply demonstrated experimentally.

II. Major Accomplishments

*A. New Synthetic Methods in Phosphorus Chemistry

1. Direct Synthesis of Phosphinamides from Acids. A one-step method has

been developed for the conversion of certain phosphinic acids to phosphinamides.

.O It consists of the transamination of the acids with tris(dialkylvmino)phos-

phines, as in the example below.

Several cyclic amides were prepared by this method and the mechanism was studied

by examining intermediates with 31P NMR. The reaction appears to proceed by the

following pathway:0 ' ,0 +01I (R-N) P 01 - + -- -

The bis(dialkylamino) derivative can also deliver the remaining R2 N groups to

the acid. The method is of limited scope; so far it has only proved useful with

5-membered cyclic phosphinic acids. However, these are of great importance in

this research program, and the direct amide-forming process has been quite

valuable. It would be of considerable practical value if the method were

applicable to phosphoric acid derivatives, and indeed a low conversion (30%) of

(EtO) 2PO(OH) to its amide was achieved. With further development, the scope of

the method might well be broadened. Full experimental details on the work so

far completed have been published

2. Reduction of Phosphorus Amides and Esters. Silanes were introduced

over two decades ago for the deoxygenation of phosphine oxides to phosphines,

and this has become a standard synthetic method of phosphorus chemistry. We

*Q have developed methods that permit the conversion of phosphinamides to

aminophosphines (with phenylsilane) or to chlorophosphines (with

trichlorosilane-pyridine). The methods have so far been found useful for cyclic

+| phosphinamides, diarylphosphinamides, and phosphinamides based on the

7-phosphanorbornene system, but probably have much wider scope. Some examples

2are shown below; full experimental details have been published

This unusual diphosphine has proved to be of interest as a ligand in

coordination chemistry; for example it forms a novel cyclic complex with a Rh(l)

We have also studied the deoxygenation of esters with silanes, but so

result we normally observe. Oe feature of interest is that the

Attempts to engage the phosphine in conventional reactions (anion formation,

additions to carbonyls or double bonds) have not yet been fruitful.

Of special significance to the present research program is the

high-yield formation of phosphinous chlorides in the 7-phosphanorbornene

.5series . The availability of compound 3 has led to a number of other

mixed-function P derivatives that could not have been synthesized by other known

methods. Some results are summarized below. Phosphole oxide dimers with other

substitution patterns give similar results OCH

Stereochemical retention, which is observed consistently in these reactions, is

notable, since inversion is the result expected from studies with less unusual

phosphinous chlorides. This result is of mechanistic importance; it implies

that a phosphoranide ion adduct is formed that prefers to keep the highly

strained ring in apical-equatorial positions of the trigonal bipyramid. This

requires a pseudorotation (hence retention) before expulsion of chloride from an

apical position can occur. All structures have been assigned from 31P shift and

3p properties, as well as by stereospecific 3 1P-1 3C couplings, and are not in

. doubt. An X-ray analysis of the dimer I was also performed to put all

assignments on a firm basis.

3. O-Insertions in C-P Bonds of Strained Phosphinates and

Phosphinamides. We recently demonstrated 7 a variety of strained phosphine

oxides to be quite receptive to 0-insertion into a C-P bond by peroxy acids. We

have now succeeded in demonstrating that strained esters and amides also undergo

* this reaction, which has never before been observed. The reactions below have

been accomplished.

In the final reaction shown, spectroscopic properties indicate insertion of 0

also into a P-N bond, a reaction recently observed by others 8 and attributed to

a rearrangement of an N-oxide intermediate. Some preliminary experiments

which are simple in concept, yet are quite valuable in using readily accessible

3-phospholene derivatives as precursors of 6-membered rings. Numerous compounds

of these types have been prepared, usually in good overall yields.

Papers providing full details on the 3-phosphorinone and 1,4-azaphosphorin

syntheses have been published. Utilization of the 3 -phosphorinones as

precursors of the 2-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octene system is discussed below.

B. Synthesis and Retrocycloaddition of Unsaturated Derivatives of the

2-Phosphabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane System.

One of the major goals set forth in the original research proposal was

to explore the possibility of using a retro-cycloaddition approach for the

generation of phospha-alkenes (RP=CH2 ). It was for the synthesis of appropriate

precursors of the 2-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octene system that the 3-phosphorinone

*• synthesis described above was developed. These compounds have indeed been found

to be useful for this purpose. Two syntheses of phosphine oxides have been

completed, and the intermediates (all new) fully characterized.

It has also been established that deoxygenation with silanes of the

Phosphine 9 proved to be stable on heating in solution up to about 150 ° .

destroyed and the expected "diene", dimethyl dihydrophthalate, was identified in

the pyrolysate. The phosphorus fragment reacted to form several species, none

showing that the retro-cycloaddition did indeed occur. In future work, trapping

* agents will be present to react with the PhP-CH2 presumably released.

The deoxygenation of the dienes 8 and 10 has also been attempted. Each

compound reacted with HSiC13 at room temperature, but the resulting tertiary

phosphines were unstable and underwent the desired retro-cycloaddition reaction.

This was evident from the detection by 13C NMR of benzene from 6 and dimethyl

phthalate from 8.

NMR analysis of the reaction mixtures also indicated that the P fragment

appeared as PhPHCH3 from 6 and Me 2PSiCl3 (tentative) from 8. These results

clearly indicate that the desired retro-cycloaddition accompanies the formation

of the phosphine from the oxide, and that the highly reactive P fragment reacts

with other compounds in the reduction medium. Further work on the use of this

phospha-alkene generating system and on the chemistry of this reactive species

6 are clearly called for.

C. Retrocycloaddition of the 5.6-Oxaphosphabicvclo[2.2.2]octene System

The P species is the desired highly reactive metaphosphate; its chemistry is

being investigated by performing its generation in the presence of trapping

agents. Major observations include the following.

I. The loss of the P bridge is complete in a few hours at temperatures

below 1100. The exact framework used has some influence on the rate; phosphole

dimers are less stable than Diels-Alder adducts from N-phenylmaleimide.

Degradation is complete and clean, forming the dienes and polymerized forms

:V (unidentified) of the metaphosphate.

2. In the presence of alcohols, the trapping of ROPO2 is nearly

complete, forming dialkyl phosphates; several have been isolated or

characterized. The process is potentially of value in the small-scale synthesis

of special phosphates.

4. As originally noted by Westheimer's laboratory13 metaphosphates are

and fully characterized.

Synthetic utility is foreseen for this process and will be developed in further

studies.

Bicyclic phosphonamides (11) have also been prepared but may follow a

different pathway in their degradation. The formation of Me2NPO2 may occur,

since thermal degradation of 11 gives polyphosphates. However, the fragment is

not reactive to N-methylpyrrole. When benzylamine is present, the rate of the

degradation is greatly accelerated, suggesting a direct attack on 11. A

phosphonamide is obtained.

Some spectral evidence for the formation of intermediates in the benzylamine

reaction, before the complete ejection of [R2NPO ] , indicates a different,

probably stepwise, mechanism for the fragmentation.

The great success experienced in the generation of RO-PO2 prompted a

consideration of the application of the technique to species with alkyl or aryl

directly on P (R-P02, metaphosphonic acid anhydrides). Recent papers 1 4 refer to

the generation and reactivity of these species to nucleophiles, and an early

report on the bicyclic precursors even mentions the possibility of their use as

15 7RPO2 generators These compounds, available from our previous work , indeed

were found to decompose smoothly in the presence of alcohols; monoalkyl

phosphonates were formed in excellent yields. Several have been isolated as

amine salts and characterized. The process is of synthetic value as a means of

making special phosphonates on a small scale.

Amines also trap the fragment. In all cases, the original Me2N group is

simultaneously displaced by the trapping nucleophile, probably after ejection

from the ring. Trapping was not successful with dienes. We have therefore

demonstrated that the new species R2N-P=O can be made available for study of its

reactivity. (Other workers have since 1 6 used this approach to prepare R-P=S).

Another application of this process that has been successfully

demonstrated is the generation of the new species RO-P=S, as indicated below.

Product 13 has been isolated and fully characterized, and attests further to the

utility of the framework for the generation of low-coordination number species.

Less success has attended our efforts to prepare P(I) derivatives

S(phosphinidenes) by this approach. We had previously studied the thermolysis of

tertiary phosphines in the 7-PNB series and concluded that their decomposition

17did not proceed by a simple unixnolecular ejection of R-P . We have now studied

the possibility that RO-P and R 2 N-P may be generated from the corresponding

Although thermal degradation of the mninophosphine occurs, there is no evidence

that the free phosphinidene is formed, and no trapping product has been

", obtained. MeO-P generation has also not been confirmed in trapping experiments.
