Tri(Terf-Butyl)plumbyl-phosphanes, Synthesis and Multinuclear Magnetic Resonance

Abstract

Abstract The reaction of tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-lithium (1) with various phosphorus chlorides was studied. With diphenyl- and amino(phenyl)phosphorus chlorides the formation of hexa(tertbutyl) diplumbane (2) and tetraphenyldiphosphane (3) or the respective 1,2-bis(am ino)-1,2-diphenyl- diphosphanes [e. g. 5: amino = PhCH2(tBu)N] was dominant. The presence of at least one tert-butyl group at the phosphorus atom gave access to tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-di(tert-butyl) phosphane (4) and to tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-amino(tert-butyl)phosphanes [amino = tBu(H)N (6), Me(Ph)N (7), PhCH2(Me)N (8), PhCH2(tBu)N (9)] via the reaction of 1 with the corresponding phosphorus chlorides. Side products were again 2 and the corresponding diphosphanes, unidentified compounds, and in two cases, bis(phosphanyl)-di(tert-butyl)plumbanes [phosphanyl = tBu(H)N(tBu)P (10), Me(Ph)N(tBu)P (11)]. Trimethylplumbyl-benzyl(methyl)- amino(tert-butyl)phosphane (12) was prepared for comparison. All compounds were characterized by their 1H , 13C, 15N (9 ),31P and 207Pb NMR data. The coupling constants 1J(207Pb,31P) are large and negative, whereas the coupling constants 1J(207Pb, 13C) are small and can be of either sign. The coupling constants 2J(31P-N-13C) of 6 - 12 indicate a preferred conformation of the substituents at phosphorus and nitrogen
