Nucleophilic substitution reactions of the N(R),N(R)-spiro-bridged octachlorobis(cyclotriphosphazene), N3P3Cl4[N(CH2)5CH3]2N3P3Cl4 (1), with sodium salts of alcohols (1,3-propanediol, 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoro-1,5-pentanediol, and phenol) give ansa products (2-4) via an unexpected rearrangement. These products were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of compounds 3 and 4 were also established by X-ray crystallography. This new class of phosphazene structures consists of three fused P3N3 rings that arise from expansion of the four-membered phosphazane ring in 1 to a six-membered N3P3 ring during alcoholysis reactions.

Article Synopsis
- The synthesis of -difluorinated cyclobutenes is challenging due to the compatibility issues with the fluorine atom and the stability of the four-membered ring.
- A new transition-metal-free method has been created to produce these compounds from -difluorinated cyclopropyl -tosylhydrazons using a ring expansion reaction.
- This approach simplifies the process by allowing the reaction to occur without the need for inert gas protection, making it an efficient way to synthesize -difluorinated cyclobutenes.
Rhodium-Catalyzed One-Carbon Ring Expansion of Aziridines with Vinyl-N-triftosylhydrazones for the Synthesis of 2-Vinyl Azetidines.

Azetidines, being four-membered N-heterocycles, possess significant potential in contemporary medicinal chemistry owing to their favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Regrettably, the incorporation of functionalized azetidines into pharmaceutical lead structures has been impeded by the absence of efficient synthetic methods for their synthesis. In this study, a Rh-catalyzed one-carbon ring expansion of aziridines with vinyl-N-triftosylhydrazones is presented, which facilitates the synthesis of high value-added 2-alkenyl azetidine products.

The near-threshold dissociation of ionized and neutral methyl chloroformate (CHCOOCl, MCF) was explored with imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. The threshold photoelectron spectrum (TPES) for MCF was acquired for the first time; the large geometry changes upon ionization of MCF result in a broad, poorly defined TPES. Franck-Condon simulations are consistent with an adiabatic ionization energy (IE) of 10.

Silacycles are ubiquitous building blocks. Small silacycles can typically be expanded catalytically. A silirane, silirene and phosphasilirene as well as a siletane and a silolene were prepared starting from the base-free bromosilylene [( Cbz)SiBr] ( Cbz=1,8-bis(3,5-ditertbutylphenyl)-3,6-ditertbutylcarbazolyl).

Donor-acceptor cyclopropanes or cyclobutanes are dipolar reagents, which are widely used in the synthesis of complex organic (hetero)cycles in ring expansion reactions. Applying this concept to boron containing heterocycles, the four-membered borete cyclo-iPr N-BC H reacted with the carbon donor ligands 2,6-xylylisonitrile and the carbene IMes :C(NMesCH) with ring expansion and ring fusion, respectively. In particular, the tetracyclic structure formed with IMes displays zwitterionic character and absorption in the visible region.
