Phosphazene
Phosphazenes refer to various classes of organophosphorus compounds featuring phosphorus(V) with a double bond between P and N. One class of phosphazenes have the formula . These phosphazenes are also known as iminophosphoranes and phosphine imides. They are superbases. BEMP and ''t''-Bu-P4 Well known phosphazene bases are BEMP (2-tert-Butylimino-2-diEthylamino-1,3-diMethylperhydro-1,3,2-diazaPhosphorine) with an acetonitrile pKa, p''K''a of the conjugate acid of 27.6 and the phosphorimidic triamide P4-t-Bu, ''t''-Bu-P4 (p''K''BH+ = 42.7) also known as P4-t-Bu, Schwesinger base. BEMP and P4-t-Bu, ''t''-Bu-P4 have attracted attention because they are nucleophilicity, low-nucleophilic, which precludes their participating in competing reactions. Being non-ionic ("charge-neutral"), they are soluble in nonpolar solvents. Protonation takes place at a doubly bonded nitrogen atom. The p''K''a's of , where R = Methyl group, Me and Pyrrolidine, pyrrolidinyl, are 42.7 and 44, respectively. ...

Polyphosphazene
Polyphosphazenes include a wide range of hybrid inorganic chemistry, inorganic-organic chemistry, organic polymers with a number of different polymer architecture, skeletal architectures with the backbone phosphorus, P-nitrogen, N-P-N-P-N-. In nearly all of these materials two organic side groups are attached to each phosphorus center. Linear polymers have the formula (N=PR1R2)n, where R1 and R2 are organic (see graphic). Other architectures are cyclolinear and cyclomatrix polymers in which small phosphazene, phosphazene rings are connected together by organic chain units. Other architectures are available, such as block copolymer, polymer architecture, star, dendritic polymer, dendritic, or polymer architecture, comb-type structures. More than 700 different polyphosphazenes are known, with different side groups (R) and different molecular architectures. Many of these polymers were first synthesized and studied in the research group of Harry R. Allcock. __TOC__ Synthesis The method ...

P4-t-Bu
P4-''t''-Bu is a readily accessible chemical from the group of neutral, peralkylated Steric effects#Steric hindrance, sterically hindered polyaminophosphazenes, which are extremely strong Base (chemistry), bases but very weak nucleophiles, with the formula . "''t''-Bu" stands for Butyl group, ''tert''-butyl –. "P4" stands for the fact that this molecule has 4 phosphorus atoms. P4-''t''-Bu can also be regarded as tetrameric triaminoiminophosphorane of the basic structure . The homologous series of P1 to P7 polyaminophosphazenes of the general formula [(R^1_2N)_3P=N-]_\mathit-(R^1_2N)_P=NR2 with preferably methyl groups as R1, a methyl group or tert-butyl group, ''tert''-butyl group as and even-numbered ''x'' between 0 and 6 (P4-''t''-Bu: R1 = Me, R2 = ''t''-Bu and ''x'' = 3) has been developed by Reinhard Schwesinger; the resulting phosphazene bases are therefore also referred to as Schwesinger superbases. Preparation The convergent synthesis of P4-''t''-Bu is derived from phosph ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Superbases
A superbase is a Chemical compound, compound that has a particularly high affinity for Hydron (chemistry), protons. Superbases are of theoretical interest and potentially valuable in organic synthesis. Superbases have been described and used since the 1850s.''Superbases for Organic Synthesis'' Ed. Ishikawa, T., John Wiley and Sons, Ltd.: West Sussex, UK. 2009. Definitions Generically International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC defines a superbase as a "compound having a very high Base (chemistry), basicity, such as lithium diisopropylamide." Superbases are often defined in two broad categories, Organic chemistry, organic and Organometallic chemistry, organometallic. Organic superbases are charge-neutral compounds with basicities greater than that of proton sponge (1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene, pKBH+ = 18.6 in acetonitrile). In a related definition: any species with a higher absolute proton affinity (APA = 245.3 kcal/mol) and intrinsic gas phase basicity (GB = 23 ...

Non-nucleophilic Bases
As the name suggests, a non-nucleophilic base is a sterically hindered organic base that is a poor nucleophile. Normal bases are also nucleophiles, but often chemists seek the proton-removing ability of a base without any other functions. Typical non-nucleophilic bases are bulky, such that protons can attach to the basic center but alkylation and complexation is inhibited. Non-nucleophilic bases A variety of amines and nitrogen heterocycles are useful bases of moderate strength (pKa of conjugate acid around 10-13) * ''N'',''N''-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, also called Hünig's Base), pKa = 10.75 *1,8-Diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) - useful for E2 elimination reactions, pKa = 13.5 * 1,5-Diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene (DBN) - comparable to DBU * 2,6-Di-tert-butylpyridine, a weak non-nucleophilic base pKa = 3.58 * Phosphazene bases, such as ''t''-Bu-P4''Activation in anionic polymerization: Why phosphazene bases are very exciting promoters'' S.

Cyclodiphosphazane
Cyclodiphosphazanes are saturated four membered P2N2 ring systems and one of the major classes of cyclic phosphazene compounds. Bis(chloro)cyclodiphosphazanes, (cis- lP(μ-NR)sub>2) are important starting compounds for synthesizing a variety of cyclodiphosphazane derivatives by nucleophilic substitution reactions; are prepared by reaction of phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) with a primary amine (RNH2) or amine hydrochlorides (RNH3Cl). Organic substituents on nitrogen play an important role in formation of cyclic phosphazane compounds. The cyclic tetramers and trimer are formed with methyl and ethyl substituents on nitrogen, whereas formation of cyclic dimers (cis- lP(μ-NR)sub>2) have been observed exclusively with more sterically demanding primary amines such as ''tert''-butylamine and aniline. Coordination Chemistry Cyclodiphosphazanes are excellent ligand systems for metallosupramolecular chemistry. The cis-oriented lone pair on phosphorus in cyclodiphosphazane are projected away ...

Verkade Base
In chemistry, the Verkade base (or Verkade superbase) is a powerful superbase with the formula P(MeNCH2CH2)3N. A colorless oil, it is an aminophosphine although its inventor John Verkade called it proazaphosphatrane. The trimethyl derivative or 2,5,8,9-tetraaza-1-phosphabicyclo .3.3ndecane is the simplest. Diverse analogues of the Verkade base are known, e.g. with isopropyl groups in place of methyl. Synthesis and reactions The Verkade base is generated by the reaction of N,N,N-trimethyl tren with tris(dimethylamino)phosphine: :P(NMe2)3 + (MeNHCH2CH2)3N → P(MeNCH2CH2)3N + 3 Me2NH The principal reaction of the Verkade base is protonation. The proton is attacked by the Verkade base at the phosphorus atom within, which induces the formation of a transannular P-N bond. The product exemplifies the structure of an atrane. 290 px, left, Protonation of Verkade base. The conjugate acid P(MeNCH2CH2)3Nsup>+ of the base has a pKa of 32.9 in acetonitrile.

Phosphine Imide
In chemistry a phosphine imide (sometimes abbreviated to phosphinimide) also known as a iminophosphorane is a functional group with the formula R3P=NR. While structurally related to phosphine oxide its chemistry has more in common with phosphonium ylides. Anions of this group, with the structure R3P=N−, are called phosphinoimidates and are used as ligands to form phosphinimide complexes which are highly active catalysts in some olefin polymerization reactions. Synthesis Phosphine imides can be isolated as intermediates in the Staudinger reaction and have also been prepared by the action of hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid on phosphines, proceeding via a p-aminophosphonium salt. Reactions and applications The functional group will readily hydrolyse to give a phosphine oxide and an amine :R3P=NR' + H2O → R3P=O + R'NH2 Phosphinimide ligands of the general formula NPR3− form transition metal phosphinimide complexeses.
