Deselenization of dialkyl phosphoroisoselenocyanatidite
Abstract
Attempts to distil dialkyl phosphoroisoseleno-cyanatidite (V) caused its rearrangement to dialkyl cyanophosphoroselenoate (VIII), and treatment of (V) with the phosphinite (VI) gives dialkyl phosphorocyanidite (IV); these observations indicate the thermodynamic instability of the intermediate dialkyl phosphoroisocyanidite (III), which has not been identified by physical methods but is supported by the proposed reaction mechanism.
