Going for strain: synthesis of the first 3-imino-azaphosphiridine complexes and their conversion into oxaphosphirane complex valence isomers†
Abstract
Reaction of a Li/Cl phosphinidenoid complex with N,N′-dialkyl carbodiimides yielded the novel 3-imino-azaphosphiridine complexes; reaction with water led selectively to the first stable valence isomer of an oxaphosphirane complex.
