Development of a series of P(CH2N=CHR)(3) and trisubstituted 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane Ligands
The synthesis and structure of a series of novel phosphine ligands derived from the condensation of P(CH2NH2) with aldehydes are described. Depending on the reaction conditions, either substituted tris(iminomethyl)phosphine, P(CH2N=CHR)(3), or 1,3,5-triaza-7phosphaadamantane structures substituted at the "lower rim", PTAR(3), are obtained.
