Synthesis of 1,2,4-diazaphospholes via base-promoted cyclization reaction of hydrazonoyl chlorides and [Bu4N][P(SiCl3)2].

ABSTRACT

Aromatic 1,2,4-diazaphospholes featuring distinct hybrid-mode nitrogen atoms (N(λ3σ2), N(λ3σ3)) and low-valent phosphorus atoms (λ3σ2) exhibited the characteristic of serving as unique hybrid ligands. This study presented a one-pot reaction involving the base-promoted stepwise cyclization of hydrazonoyl chlorides and [Bu4N][P(SiCl3)2] to yield 1,2,4-diazaphospholes, providing an effective method for synthesizing such compounds.
