Abstract

The first definitive isolation of phosphaza-norbornanes is reported. These PN frameworks feature a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton with bridgehead P(III) sites and can be made via a modular condensation reaction starting from primary amines. Their molecular and electronic structures, stability, and strain energies are compared with closely related PN or hydrocarbon bicyclic systems.
