Transformations of 1,3-di-p-tolyl-5-p-toluidinomethyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphorinane initiated by electrochemical oxidation at a glassy carbon electrode

Abstract

Electrochemical oxidation of 1,3-di-p-tolyl-5-p-toluidinomethyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphorinane at a glassy carbon anode yields 5,5′-spirobis(1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphoniarinane) perchlorate and 1,3-di-p-tolyl-5-p-toluidinomethyl-1,3-diaza-2-carbenia-5-phosphorinane perchlorate. The latter reacts on a PtII template to give a complex of a new diphosphine ligand.
