Reactions of mono- and bis-N-bromosulfimides with thio-ether crowns, phosphines and selenides

Abstract

The brominated sulfimide Ph2SNBr reacts with diphosphines 1,2-(PPh2)2C2H4 and 1,4-(Ph2P)2(C6H4) to give the bis-N-phosphoniosulfimidium cations [1,2-(Ph2PNSPh2)2C2H4]2+ and [1,4-(Ph2PNSPh2)2(C6H4)]2+, respectively. Treatment of the bis-sulfimide 1,4-[PhSNH]2C6H4 with N-bromosuccinimide results in 1,4-[PhSNBr]2C6H4, which in turn reacts with triphenylphosphine to generate [1,4-(PhS{NSPPh3})2C6H4]Br2. Both Ph2SNBr and 1,4-[PhSNBr]2C6H4 react with the thio-ether crown [9-ane]S3, giving [9[ane]S3NSPh2]Br and [1,4-{[9-ane]S2S(NSPh)2C6H4]Br2, respectively. The first examples of seleniosulfimidium salts have been isolated from the reactions of Ph2SNBr and 1,4(PhS{NBr})2C6H4 with Ph2Se and the structures of the [Ph2SNSePh2]+ and [1,4-(PhSNSePh2)2C6H4]2+ cations confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Reaction of 1,2-PhS(NH)C6H4SPh with one equivalent of N-bromosuccinimide followed by addition of Na[BPh4] results in [1,2-(PhS)2(μ-N)C6H4][BPh4] in which a CCSNS ring is observed; two forms of this material may be isolated upon crystallisationX-ray crystallography reveals them to differ by the relative orientations of the phenyl rings.
