Abstract

AbstractDynamic NMR spectroscopy at very low temperatures (148–182 K) reveal the dynamic behavior of the (2‐tri(3‐furyl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐cyclopropenyl‐oxaphosphetane) generated during a Wittig reaction between tri(3‐furyl)ethylphosphonium iodine and cyclopropylaldehyde. The possibility of formation of different adducts between Li+ ions and oxaphosphetane or betainic intermediates was checked calculating the formation enthalpies using the MNDO, AM1, and PM3 semiempirical MO methods. The observed species are interpreted as oxaphosphetane complexes with lithium ions present in solution. Quantum mechanical calculations confirm the spectroscopic results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008
