Reaction of 2-chloro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphinin-4-one with 2-(arylmethylideneamino)phenols. Stereoselective formation of 10-aryl-3,4 : 8,9-dibenzo-5,7-dioxa-1-aza-6-phosphabicyclo[4.3.1]decane-2,6-diones.
The article a study on the reaction of 2-Chloro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphinin-4-one with 2-(Arylmethylideneamino)phenols. The authors describe intramolecular cyclization processes in the system 2-chloro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphinin-4-one (I)2-(arylmethylideneamino)phenol II in the absence of a base. They also explore the lower nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom in aromatic Schiff bases and conformational rigidity of the aromatic ring.
