Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. 21. Syntheses, structural investigations, biological activities, and DNA interactions of new N/O spirocyclic phosphazene derivatives. The NMR behaviors of chiral phosphazenes with stereogenic centers upon the addition of chiral solvating agents.

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene, N(3)P(3)Cl(6), with N/O-donor-type N-alkyl (or aryl)-o-hydroxybenzylamines (1a-1e) produce mono- (2a-2e), di- (3a-3d), and tri- (4a and 4b) spirocyclic phosphazenes. The tetrapyrrolidino monospirocyclic phosphazenes (2f-2i) are prepared from the reactions of partly substituted compounds (2a-2d) with excess pyrrolidine. The dispirodipyrrolidinophosphazenes (3e-3h) and trispirophosphazenes (3i-3k) are obtained from the reactions of trans-dispirophosphazenes with excess pyrrolidine and sodium (3-amino-1-propanoxide), respectively.

Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. 14. Synthesis, stereogenism, and structural investigations of novel n/o spirocyclic phosphazene derivatives.

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene, N3P3Cl6, with N/O donor-type N-alkyl-o-hydroxybenzyl- and o-hydroxynaphthylamines result in novel mono- (3a, 4a and 4b), di- (5a and 5b), and tri- (3b, 6a, and 6b) spirocyclic phosphazene derivatives. The tetrakis-pyrrolidinophosphazene, 3b, has been obtained from the reaction of partly substituted compound 3a with the excess pyrrolidine in tetrahydrofuran. The relationship between the endocyclic NPN (alpha) and exocyclic NPO (alpha') bond angles of the analogous spirocyclic phosphazenes with the deltaP shifts of NPO phosphorus atoms have been presented.

C-bis-pivot lariat ethers: synthesis and spectral investigations on new 15- and 17-membered coronands containing dimethoxyphosphoryl groups.

The reactions of dibenzo-diaza crown ethers (coronands) (1 and 2) with dimethylphosphite led to the formation of the mixture of meso and racemic C-bis-pivot lariat ethers (3 and 4) containing dimethoxyphosphoryl groups. We have failed to make the resolution of the mixture, nevertheless, the detailed characterization and spectral investigations of compounds 3 and 4 have been made by elemental analyses, FTIR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, (31)P NMR, COSY, DEPT, HETCOR and HMBC spectral data. The salient features of the spectral data of these compounds have been presented.
