Abstract
AbstractNatural abundance 13C NMR studies have been carried out on a series of organophosphorus compounds possessing PN bonds. For the first time a one‐bond temperature‐dependent 13C—31P nuclear spin coupling was observed for the P‐phenyl carbons in bis(N,N‐dibenzylamino)phenylphosphine (0‐9 Hz) and bis(N,N‐diethylamino)phenylphosphine (0–2 Hz). This temperature‐dependent behavior can be rationalized in terms of free rotation about the phenyl phosphorus bond with concomitant hindered rotation about the PN bonds. A conformational preference for the nitrogen and phosphorus lone pairs to exist in the trans orientation is indicated. In the similarly substituted 5‐membered heterocyclic ring compound, 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐diazaphospholidine, the phenyl one‐bond coupling increases to (−) 42.1 Hz and becomes temperature independent. These data suggest that 1J(PC) is very responsive to electronic effects.
