Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. Part 13. Syntheses, crystal structures, spectroscopic, stereogenic, and anisochronic properties of novel spiro-ansa-spiro-, spiro-bino-spiro-, and spiro-crypta phosphazene derivatives.

The condensation reactions of N2Ox (x = 2, 3) donor-type aminopodand (4) and dibenzo-diaza-crown ethers (5, 6, and 9) with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene, N3P3Cl6, produce two kinds of partially substituted novel phosphazene derivatives, namely, spiro-bino-spiro- (19) and spiro-crypta (21, 22, and 25) phosphazenes. The partially substituted spiro-ansa-spiro-phosphazene (11) reacted with pyrrolidine and 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane (DASD) give the corresponding new fully substituted phosphazenes (14 and 16). Unexpectedly, the reactions of 23 and 24 with pyrrolidine result in only geminal crypta phosphazenes (26 and 27).

1,3-Bis[2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)phenoxy]propane.

The title compound [systematic name: 2,2'-[1,3-propanediyldioxydi-o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol], C(29)H(26)N(2)O(4), exists as the phenol-imine form in the crystal, and there are strong intramolecular O-H...
