Nuclear magnetic resonance structural study of phosphonate anions
Abstract
It is shown by 31P, 13C, and 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy that BunLi and the phosphonates (1) and (2) in tetrahydrofuran give a single, planar, charge-delocalized species (A), whereas ButOK and ButOLi and (1) give another species (B) in addition to (A); the structure proposed for (B) is analogous to that of the lithium adducts of phosphorus ylides.
