Abstract
Reaction of Ph 4P +Cl − with LiNHR (where R = CH 3, C 2H 5, i-C 3H 7, n-C 4H 9, but not C(CH 3) 3) gives phosphineimines III, whereas the reaction with LiNR 2 proceeds via three routes depending on the size of R and the dialkylamide excess. With larger R groups, homolytic decomposition of pentacoordinate phosphorus compounds occurs. With smaller R groups, Ph 3P and PhNR 2 are formed. Higher excesses of lithium amide result, probably, in ligand exchange at the pentacoordinate phosphorus followed by decomposition of the exchange products. Charge transfer complex intermediates are assumed to be formed in all the reactions.
