TL;DR: The hexameric n-butyloxotin benzoate, [n-BuSn(O)O2CC6H4NO2.2]6] and the dimeric methyloxotin cyclohexanoate, this article, were prepared by condensing the stannoic acid with the respective carboxylic acid.
Abstract: The hexameric n-butyloxotin benzoate, [n-BuSn(O)O2CC6H4NO2.2]6.3C6H6, 1, and the dimeric methyloxotin cyclohexanoate, [(MeSn(O)O2CC6H11)2MeSn(O2CC6H11)3]2, 4, were prepared by condensing the stannoic acid with the respective carboxylic acid. Reaction of n-butyltin. trichloride with the silver salt of the respective carboxylic acid gave the dimeric n-butyloxotin carboxylate compositions, [(n-BuSn(O)O2CR)2-n-BuSn(O2CR)3]2, 2 (R = Ph) and 3 (R = Me). These represent new substances and, as found by X-ray analysis, form a new structural class of organotin compounds for 2-4 having “unfolded drum” or “ladder” structures. The hexamer composition 1 exists in “drum” form. 119Sn NMR data show that the drum and ladder structures interconvert reversibly. 1 crystallizes in the rhombohedral/space group R3 with a H = 15.283 (4) A, cH, = 34.683 (9) A, and Z = 3. 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 13.657 (6) A, b = 14.104 (2) A, c = 14.559 (4) A, a = 99.14 (2)°, β = 111.73 (3)°, γ = 101.57 (3)...

TL;DR: In this paper, the reversibility of hydroxyphosphonate synthesis in the Kabachnik-Fields synthesis was studied and it was found that in all studies cases which included aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or ketones, the hydroxy phosphonates decompose to the starting ketone and dialkyl phosphite in the presence of aliphatically amines as determined by 1H-, 13C-, 31P-NMR.

Abstract: The new five-coordinated silicon compounds, pyridinium bis(2,3-naphthalenediolato)phenylsilicate(IV), [(C10H6O2)2SiPh][C5H6N], 11, pyridinium bis(1,2-benzenediolato)-1-naphthylsilicate(IV), [(C6H4O2)2SiC10H7][C5H6N], 12, and pyridinium bis(1,2-benzenediolato)(2- and 4-chlorophenyl)silicate(IV) (2-Cl, 0.85; 5-Cl, 0.15), [(C6H4O2)2SiC6H4Cl][C5H6N], 13, were synthesized and their X-ray structures determined. The structure of 11 is nearly an ideal rectangular pyramid (RP) and 12 is displaced about halfway between the RP and trigonal bipyramid (TBP), while 13 is closer to a TBP. A quantitative assessment of these and related pentacoordinated cyclic anionic silicate structures reveals a continuous change in ring Si[sbnd]O bond lengths that vary from 1.78 (axial) and 1.68 A (equatorial) for the idealized TBP to 1.73 A (basal) for the RP. The results for these compounds, all of which follow the Berry pseudorotational coordinate, suggest a structural nonrigidity at least as great as found for phosphoranes...

TL;DR: In this article, unsymmetrical diphosphazanes of the type X2PN(Pr1)PYY′ were prepared and converted into their mono-and di-oxides or sulfides.
Abstract: New unsymmetrical diphosphazanes of the type X2PN(Pr1)PYY′ {X = Ph, YY′ = O2C12H8 (1a), O2C20H12 (1h); X = Ph, Y = Ph, Y′ = OC6H4Me-4 (1c), OC6H4Br4(1d), OC6H3Me2-3,5 (1e), N2C2H3 (1f), N2C3HMe2-3,5 (1g), OC5H4N-2 (1h)} are prepared and converted into their mono- and di-oxides or sulfides. These can function as heterofunctional ligands through P, S, N or O donor sites. These compounds have been characterized by NMR spectroscopic studies. Variable temperature 31P{1H} NMR measurements on some of these compounds reveal the presence of different types of conformers in solution. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies have been carried out for Ph2P(S)N(Pr1)PPh(N2C3HMe2-3,5) (2g) and Ph2P(O)N(Pr1)P(O)Ph(OC5H4N-2) (5b).

TL;DR: In this article, a structural study using X-ray cristallography of the complexes of the title has been done and the results showed that the size of the cation strongly modifies the structure of the complex.
Abstract: Structural study using X-ray cristallography of the complexes of the title has been done. Alendronate is already known to be a very good chelator of divalent cations and supramolecular species obtained with alendronate and these cations are very stable and make them able to be used in biological systems. Our study points out that the size of the cation strongly modifies the structure of the complex. With Cu(II) and Zn(II) which are two cations with proximate ionic radii one cation is put in the centre of the coordination system and structures are isomorphous. On the other hand, with Cd(II), a binuclear complex is obtained. Results are discussed on the basis of these structures.

TL;DR: Amino-2-arylethylphosphonic acids have been shown to have a strong inhibition of anthocyanin synthesis in vitro as discussed by the authors, but not in vivo.
Abstract: 2-Amino-2-arylethylphosphonic acids, 6a to 6q have been prepared from the corresponding 2-acetoxyimino-or 2-methoxyimino-2-aryl-ethylphosphonates, 3 or 4, by hydrogenation using Raney-Ni as a catalyst, followed by hydrolysis with HCl. 3 and 4 were obtained from the corresponding aryl-bromomethyl-ketoxime-O-acetates, 1, or aryl-bromomethyl-O-methylketoximes, 2, by an Arbuzov reaction with triethylphosphite. Several of the 2-amino-2-arylethylphosphonic acids 6 show activity against Botrytis cinerea and Cercospora. Among the more active compounds were 6a, 6b, 6g and 6k, whereby 6b and 6k gave full protection against Botrytis cinerea (on apple) down to 60 ppm. The same compounds show also a weak inhibition of anthocyanin synthesis in vivo.

TL;DR: In this article, a hemilabile rhodium complex with phosphonate-phosphane ligands (RO)2P(O)(CH2nPPh2 1a-c (n = 1-3) has been synthesized and characterised.
Abstract: New hemilabile rhodium complexes with phosphonate-phosphane ligands (RO)2P(O)(CH2)nPPh2 1a-c (n = 1-3) have been synthesized and characterised. Effective methods for the preparation of the ligands were developed and the characterisation was carried out with IR and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, 1b and 1c were converted into the corresponding phosphonate-phosphanoxyds 4b, c, and phosphonate-phosphonium bromides 5b, c. Both, open-chain (2a-c) and chelate (3a-c) rhodium complexes were easily accessible from 1a-c. The hemilabile behaviour of the rhodium complexes 2 and 3 was demonstrated by their smooth conversion into each other. The structure of the phosphonate-phosphane ligands 1a-c significantly affected the catalytic properties of 2a-c in methanol carbonylation.

Abstract: The Kabachnik-Fields and Moedritzer-lrani reactions are studied in the case of 1-2 diamino trans cyclohexane dl as aminated component. The new bicyclic bis phosphonates 1, 1′, la have been obtained in the first case and the tetra phosphonic acid 2′ in the second one. The methylene bridge between the two nitrogen atoms in 1 and la is a protecting group that is stable in basic medium and readily removed at 20°C in acidic conditions. The 1H, 31C and 31P spectra are reported for all new compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, selective desulfenylation of α-sulfur-and α-seleno-substituted phosphonates under free radical conditions is described.
Abstract: Selective desulfenylation and deselenylation of α-sulfur- and α-seleno-substituted phosphonates under free radical conditions are described. Chemoselectivity and scope of the title reactions were studied using phosphonates additionally functionalized in the α-position by alkyl, phenyl, ethoxy, chloro, car-bonyl and sulfenyl groups. It was found that reduction of a halogen tolerates the presence of the sulfenyl group and the latter could be reduced in the presence of the sulfinyl and sulfonyl moieties. Moreover, one sulfenyl group was selectively removed from α-phosphoryl dithioacetals and the phenylsulfenyl group was reduced preferentially in the presence of the methylsulfenyl one.

TL;DR: By coupling in pairs in all possible ways the eight hybridization types of a neutral phosphorus atom, 37 modes of formation of a phosphorus-phosphorus bond are obtained as discussed by the authors, and two other possibilities were also envisaged.
Abstract: By coupling in pairs in all possible ways the eight hybridization types of a neutral phosphorus atom, 37 modes of formation of a phosphorus—phosphorus bond are obtained. Some experimental results illustrate these modes and structural possibilities which offer the best hope of future success are predicted. Two other possibilities were also envisaged. The one in which one phosphorus atom is neutral, the other being cationic comprises 39 different P—P+ modes of hybridization. Coupling the eight neutral hybridization types of a phosphorus atom with the 13 possible anionic ones leads to 94 modes of formation of a P—P+ bond.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered possible reaction mechanisms and structural assignments based upon analytical, chemical and spectroscopic (IR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR and MS) results.
Abstract: 5-Methylisatin ( 1b) reacts with TAP ( 4a–c) and/or DAP ( 3a-c) to give the respective dialkyl α-hydroxyphosphonates (8a-c). Isatin-monoxime ( 5a) and 5-methyl isatin-monoxime ( 5b) react with alkyl phosphites to give dialkyl 2-oxo-indolyl phosphorates ( 8a–c, 12a–f, 15a–c) as major products. The carbonyl-group at position – 3 in 1b is deoxygenated by triphenylphosphine to give a new phosphorus ylide ( 17 ) and by methylenetriphenylphosphoranes (Wittig-reagents, 7a-c) to afford the respective 3- substituted methylenes ( 19a-c) in good yields. Possible reaction mechanisms were considered and structural assignments were based upon analytical, chemical and spectroscopic (IR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR and MS) results.

TL;DR: The reaction between carboxylic acids, bromocyane and triphenylphosphine (Ph3PBrCN), affords under similar conditions acyl bromides as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Acyl halides, i.e., acyl bromides and acyl chlorides can be generated in high yields under mild conditions from the corresponding carboxylic acid in the presence of equivalent amounts of NBS/NCS and tri-phenylphosphine. The reaction between carboxylic acids, bromocyane and triphenylphosphine (Ph3PBrCN), affords under similar conditions acyl bromides. Bromocyanotriphenylphosphorane reacts also smoothly with epoxides, e.g., phenyloxirane. It appears, however, that the expected bromocyanides are not obtainable by this reaction, vicinal dibromides being formed instead.
