Abstract
A new family of dialphosphacyclohexane is introduced which has three nucleophilic centers. The conformational stabilities and structural properties of 2-lithio-1,3-diphosphinane and 2-lithio-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-diphosphinane were investigated computationally by DFT calculations and NBO analyses at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). Relative energy trend in 1,3-diphosphinane and 1,3-dimethyl-1,3-diphosphinane conformations explored from steric and hyperconjugative point of view. The stability trend of 2-lithio derivatives based on calculated relative energies in 1,3-diphosphinane is 1d > 1f > 1b > 1a > 1c > 1e and for 1,3-dimethyl-1,3-diphosphinane derivatives is 2f > 2d > 2b > 2a > 2c > 2e. Calculated NBO atomic charges indicate that high positive charge at lithium and small C–Li Wiberg bond indexes in these derivatives are demonstrators of ionic nature of the C–Li bonds. Stereoelectronic interactions, polarizability of phosphorus, and chelate formation between each of phosphorous and lithium are determining factors in stability trend observed in these derivatives. Ease of lithiation in bis(dimethylphosphino)methane, 1,3-diphosphinane, and 1,3-dimethyl-1,3-diphosphinane derivatives was estimated and compared by isodesmic reaction.
