The synthesis and structural characterisation of some azo-containing phosphine chalcogenides and comparison to non-phosphorus-containing analogues
Abstract
p-HO-Ph(Ph2)P(E) (E = S, 1b, Se, 1c) reacts with the diazonium salts [4-R-PhNN][BF4] (R = H, Me, Et, iPr, tBu, NMe2, NO2) to afford the new compounds [1-HO-2-(4-R-PhNN)-4-Ph2P(E)C6H3] (E = S, R = H, 2a; Me, 2b; Et, 2c; iPr, 2d; tBu, 2e; NMe2, 2f; NO2, 2g; E = Se, R = H, 2h; Me, 2i) in acceptable yield. Similarly m-HO-Ph(Ph2)P(S) 3 reacts with two molar equivalents of the diazonium salts [4-R-PhNN][BF4] (R = H, Me, NMe2, NO2) to give the new compounds 1-HO-2,4-(4-R-PhNN)-3-Ph2P(S)-C6H24a–d (R = H, 4a; Me, 4b; NMe2, 4c; NO2, 4d). All of the new compounds have been characterised by
