The Synthesis and Characterization of Aryloxy-Linear Phosphazenes

Microwave-assisted solvent-free synthesis and spectral and structural characterization of cyclotriphosphazene hexakis(o-tolylamide)

A new cyclotriphosphazene, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexakis (o-tolylamono)-1,3,5,2λ 5,4λ 5,6λ 5-triazatriphosphinine (MPAP), was prepared using microwave irradiation and identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, in addition to hydrogen bonds, the network is further stabilized by inter- and intramolecular π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings.

Synthesis and characterization of alkyl- and acyl-substituted oxime–phosphazenes

Two oxime–cyclophosphazenes were prepared from the hexakis(4-formylphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (2) and hexakis(4-acetylphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (8). The reactions of these oximes with ethyl bromide, allyl bromide, propanoyl chloride, and acriloyl chloride were studied. Hexasubstituted compounds were obtained from the reactions of hexakis{4-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}cyclotriphosphazene (3) with ethyl bromide (4), allyl bromide (5), and propanoyl chloride (6), however, the oxime groups on 3 rearranged to nitrile (7) in the reaction of 3 with acriloyl chloride. Hexasubstituted compounds were also obtained from the reactions of hexakis{4-[(1)-N-hydroxyethaneimidoyl]phenoxy}cyclotriphosphazene (9) with allyl bromide (11) and propanoyl chloride (12). Tetra- and penta-substituted products were obtained from the reactions of 9 with ethyl bromide (10) and acriloyl chloride (13), respectively. All products were generally obtained in high yields. The structures of the compounds were defined by elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Key words: hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, phosphazene, oxime, oxime derivatives, oxime–phosphazenes.
