Ring opening of bicyclic tertiary amines with cyclic chlorocarbaphosphazenes: reactions of (ClCN)2(Cl2PN) with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and quinuclidine

Abstract

Reactions of bicyclic tertiary amines, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and quinuclidine, have been carried out with tetrachlorocyclodicarbaphosphatriazene, (ClCN)2(Cl2PN), and with (ClCN)2(Cl2PN) together with another acyclic tertiary amine. Reaction of an acyclic tertiary amine [NEt3, N(n-Pr)3, NEt(i-Pr)2 or Me2NCH2NMe2] with the chlorocarbaphosphazene followed by DABCO in 1∶1∶1 molar ratio proceeds with cleavage of a C–N bond of both tertiary amines. The cleaved alkyl group of DABCO remains as an alkyl chloride on the product molecule. The 4-(2-chloroethyl)piperazino derivatives of carbaphosphazenes, (R2NCN)[ClCH2CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCN](Cl2PN) [R2N = NEt2 1, N(n-Pr)2 2, NEt(i-Pr) 3 or NMe2 4] were isolated, purified and characterized by spectral and analytical methods. Reaction of (ClCN)2(Cl2PN) with two moles of DABCO gave the compound [ClCH2CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCN]2(Cl2PN) 5. The 4-(2-chloroethyl)piperidino compound [ClCH2CH2CH(CH2CH2)2NCN]2(Cl2PN) 6 was obtained in the reaction of (ClCN)2(Cl2PN) with two moles of quinuclidine, while (Me2NCN)[ClCH2CH2CH(CH2CH2)2NCN](Cl2PN) 7 is the product in its reaction with Me2NCH2NMe2 and quinuclidine in 1∶1∶1 molar ratio. The crystal structure of compound 4 has been determined and shows differences in the exocyclic N–C bond distances of the piperazino group in its bonding to the 2-chloroethyl and carbaphosphazene moieties.
