P(OCH 3) 3 → CH 3 P(O)(OCH 3) 2. As a ligand, trimethyl phosphite has a smaller cone angle and better acceptor properties relative to trimethylphosphine. A representative derivative is the colorless tetrahedral complex Ni(P(OMe) 3) 4 (m.p. 108 °C). [4] The tridentate ligand called the Kläui ligand is derived from trimethyl phosphite. The ...
[Ni(H 2 O) 6](BF 4) 2 + 6 HC(OC 2 H 5) 3 → [Ni(C 2 H 5 OH) 6](BF 4) 2 + 6 HC(O)(OC 2 H 5) + 6 HOC 2 H 5. Triethyl orthoformate (TEOF) is an excellent reagent for converting compatible carboxylic acids to ethyl esters. Such carboxylic acids, refluxed neat in excess TEOF until low-boilers cease evolution, are quantitatively converted to the ...
Trimethyl phosphate is a mild methylating agent, useful for dimethylation of anilines and related heterocyclic compounds. [2] The method is complementary to the traditional Eschweiler-Clarke reaction in cases where formaldehyde engages in side reactions.
From PCl 3. Phosphite esters are typically prepared by treating phosphorus trichloride with an alcohol. For alkyl alcohols the displaced chloride ion can attack the phosphite, causing dealkylation to give a dialkylphosphite and an organochlorine compound. [1] [2] The overall reaction is as follows: PCl 3 + 3 C 2 H 5 OH → (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P(O)H ...
Trimethyl orthoformate is also an effective reagent for converting compatible carboxylic acids to their corresponding methyl esters. [5] Alternatively, acid-catalyzed esterifications with methanol can be driven closer to completion by employing trimethyl orthoformate to convert water byproduct to methanol and methyl formate .
When protonated, the nitrogen in the amino group changes its orbital hybridization from sp 2 to sp 3, becoming non-planar. This leads to steric hindrance between the ortho-substituted group and the hydrogen atom of the amino group, reducing the stability of the conjugate acid and consequently decreasing the pH of substituted aniline.
Methylphosphonic acid is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula CH 3 P(O)(OH) 2. The phosphorus center is tetrahedral and is bonded to a methyl group, two OH groups and an oxygen. Methylphosphonic acid is a white, non-volatile solid that is poorly soluble in organic solvent but soluble in water and common alcohols.
The isolobal analogy can also be used with isoelectronic fragments having the same coordination number, which allows charged species to be considered. For example, Re(CO) 5 is isolobal with CH 3 and therefore, [Ru(CO) 5] + and [Mo(CO) 5] − are also isolobal with CH 3. Any 17-electron metal complex would be isolobal in this example.
