Reaktive E = C(p—p)π-Systeme, XXXI Erste Vertreter aminosubstituierter 1,2,4-Diazaphosphole

TLDR: In this article, X-ray diffraction studies on 5a and 5b indicate a delicate charge balance in the bonding system of 1H-1,2,4,σ2-diazaphospholes under the influence of the exocyclic push/pull substituents iPr2N and CF3 or CO2Me, respectively.

Abstract: Reactive E = C(p—p)π Systems, XXXII[1]. — First Representatives of Amino-Substituted 1,2,4-Diazaphospholes (Diisopropylamino)phosphaethyne iPr2N—C≡P reacts at 20° C in a [3 + 2] cycloaddition with (trifluoromethyl)diazomethane (2a) or methyl diazoacetate (2b) to yield a mixture of the corresponding regioisomers 1H-1,2,4-diazaphospholes (5a or 5b) and 1H-1,2,3-diazaphospholes (6a or 6b) in quantitative yields (isomer ratio: 5a/6a = 2:1; 5b/6b = 4:1). X-ray diffraction studies on 5a and 5b indicate a delicate charge balance in the bonding system of 1H-1,2,4,σ2-diazaphospholes under the influence of the exocyclic push/pull substituents iPr2N and CF3 or CO2Me, respectively.
