New features in pentacoordinate phosphorus chemistry.

In reactions centered at phosphorus, whether chemical or biochemical, a pentacoordinate transition state species or an intermediate or a stable molecule is very often encountered. In this Account, recent developments in this important area are discussed and compared with the earlier literature. Particular reference, with results from our laboratory, will be made to the apicophilicity, fluxional behavior, bond parameters, and tetra- vs pentacoordination. It is shown that the familiar apicophilicity rules give an oversimplified picture as demonstrated by several exceptions. Extremities of the P-O or P-N bond distances in PX(4)N and PO(4)N systems as revealed by a database search and possible future directions in this area are also discussed.

Addition products of a P(III)-isothiocyanate to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates: a spirocyclic phosphinimine and a triphosphorus heterocycle with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus.

Treatment of the P(III) isothiocyanate CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2PNCS (1) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DEAD) yields the spirocyclic phosphinimines CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P[NC(S)C(CO2R)C(CO2R)][R=Me (2), Et (3)], in a reaction unlike those of organic isocyanates. From the reaction of 1 with DEAD, a second product, the triphosphorus compound 5, with the composition [2x1+3] but with a completely reorganized structure {CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P=C(CO2Et)C(CO2Et)=CN-}{CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P(NCS)}-SC=N-P(S)[(OC6H2-6-t-Bu-4-Me)2CH2] with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus, is also isolated. Structure and reactivity of these compounds are discussed. Addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to 2 or 3 leads to the pentacoordinate phosphorus compounds [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(OCH2CF3){C(CO2R)C(CO2R)-C(S)-NH-}][R=Me (6), Et (7)]. The phosphonate [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(O)C(CO2Et)=C(CO2Et)-C(S)-NH2] (8) is obtained by evaporating a solution of 7 in open air.

Diverse modes of reactivity of dialkyl azodicarboxylates with P(III) compounds: synthesis, structure, and reactivity of products other than the Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate in a Mitsunobu-type reaction.

The reactivity of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD)/diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) with P(III) compounds bearing oxygen or nitrogen substituents is explored. Compounds with structures quite different from that of Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate R'(3)P(+)N(CO(2)R)N(-)(CO(2)R) (1), observed in the Mitsunobu reaction, have been established by using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Thus reactions with X(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = S (8), CH(2) (9)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = Cl (14) or NH-t-Bu (15)] and DEAD/DIAD lead to phosphinimine-carbamate-type of products X[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P[N-t-Bu][N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [X = S, R = Et (16); X = CH(2), R = Et (17); X = CH(2), R = i-Pr (18)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(N-t-Bu)[N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr) [X = Cl (19), NH-t-Bu (20)]. Treatment of 19 with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol afforded the product [(CF(3)CH(2)O)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)(NH-t-Bu)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)(HNCO(2)-i-Pr)]][Cl(-)] (21) whose structure is close to one of the intermediates proposed in the Mitsunobu reaction. The isocyanate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NCO (10) underwent 1,3-(P,C) cycloaddition with DEAD/DIAD to lead to CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P[N(CO(2)R)N(CO(2)R)-C(O)-N] [R = Et (22), i-Pr (23)]. Reaction of 22-23 with 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol or catechol leads to novel tetracoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(2,2'-OC(10)H(6)-C(10)H(6)-OH)[NC(O)-(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (24), i-Pr (25)] or pentacoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(1,2-O(2)C(6)H(4))[NHC(O)-N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (26), i-Pr (27)] compounds in which the original NCO residue is retained; this mode of reactivity is quite different from that observed for the MBH betaine 1. In 27, the nitrogen, rather than the oxygen, occupies an apical position of the trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus violating the commonly assumed preference rules for apicophilicity. It is shown that the previously reported azide derivative 3, obtained from the reaction of 11 with DIAD, undergoes a Curtius-type rearrangement to lead to the fused cyclodiphosphazane [(CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2))P(OC(O-i-Pr)NN(CO(2)-i-Pr)N)](2) (28); this compound is in equilibrium with its monomeric form in solution at >300 K. Finally, reaction of S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(OPh) (13) with DIAD gave the hexacoordinate compound S[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P(OPh)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)NC(O-i-Pr)O] (30) with an intramolecular S-->P bond. X-ray crystallographic evidence for compounds 16, 19, 21, 22, 25, 27, 28, and 30 has been provided.

Does a sterically bulky group occupy the equatorial site in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus?

[structure: see text] The sterically bulky tert-butyl group occupies an apical position in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus in the compound [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(t-Bu)(1,2-O2C6Cl4) in contrast to the occupation of an equatorial position by the small methyl group in [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(Me)(1,2-O2C6Cl4); this observation contradicts the familiar "apicophilicity rules" for trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. Low-temperature solution 31P NMR spectra of [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(R)(1,2-O2C6Cl4) (R = Me, Et, and n-Bu) show the presence of more than two isomers.

Pentacoordinate phosphoranes with reversed apicophilicity as stable intermediates in a mitsunobu-type reaction.

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) undergoes a cycloaddition reaction with the cyclic phosphites CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)PX (1) [X = NCS (a), N(3) (b), Cl (c), NHMe (d) and Ph (e)] to afford the novel pentacoordinate phosphoranes 2a-e as crystalline solids. This result is different from the reaction of PPh(3) with DIAD used in the well-known Mitsunobu reaction. X-ray crystallography of 2a, 2b, and 2d reveals that the nitrogen, rather than the oxygen, occupies an apical position of the trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. This is in violation of the commonly accepted preferences for substituents in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. In 2e, although the oxygen of the five-membered ring occupies the expected apical position, the phenyl group also occupies (the other) apical position, forcing the more electronegative oxygen atoms of the eight-membered ring to span equatorial-equatorial positions. In contrast to the above, the isocyanato compound CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)PNCO (1f), upon treatment with DIAD, affords compound 3 to which a tetracoordinate structure is assigned.

Novel reactions of phosphorus(III) azides and isocyanates: unusual modes of cycloaddition with dipolarophiles and an unexpected case of ring expansion.

New modes of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition are uncovered by the isolation of [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)N[NP(N3)(OC6H2-6-t-Bu-4-Me)2CH2]N) (3) and [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)C(O)N) (4) on treating [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P-X [X = N3 (1) and NCO (2)] with the dipolarophile MeO2CC identical to CCO2Me; compound 4 undergoes an unprecedented ring expansion upon addition of 2-(methylamino)ethanol to afford the spirocycle [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(OCH2CH2N(Me)CH(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)C(O)N) (5).

4,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,2-(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldioxy)-1,3,5,2lambda5,4lambda5,6lambda5-triazatriphosphorine.

The title spirocyclic compound (alternative name: 2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-9,9-dimethyl-7,11-dioxa-1,3,5-triaza-2lambda5,4lambda5,6lambda5-triphosphaspiro[5.5]undeca-1,3,5-triene), C5H10Cl4N3O2P3, does not contain alternating long-short P-N bond lengths in the phosphazene ring [P-N 1.559 (2)-1.596 (2) A], as are observed in other analogous spirocyclic compounds. The six-membered phosphazene ring has a chair conformation in the solid state, but a conformational equilibrium in solution is indicated by NMR spectroscopy.
