Reaction of N-Phosphoryl(thio)amides with Stannic Chloride

Abstract

N-Dialkoxyphosphinoylamides react with SnCl4 without rupture of the NH bonds to form stable 1:1 complexes. Replacement of one or both oxygen atoms in the P=O and C=O groups of these compounds by a sulfur atom changes the composition of the complexes and may result in an ionic mechanism of complexation. Nonacylated amidophosphate and thioamidophosphate form 2:1 and 1:1 complexes, respectively.
