Phosphorus–nitrogen compounds. Part XXXI. Reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene with aniline

Abstract

Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene reacts with aniline to give mono, 2,2-bis-, 2,4-bis-, 2,2,4-tris-, 2,2,4,4-tetrakis-, and hexakis-anilino-derivatives, N₃P₃Cl_{6 –n}(NHPh)_n(n= 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, or 6). The predominantly geminal reaction pattern was established by basicity measurements, and by the preparation of anilinodimethylaminocyclotriphosphazatrienes, and measurements of their ¹H n.m.r. spectra.
