Preparation and X‐Ray Structure of (2,4‐Di‐t‐butyl‐6‐(N,N‐ dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl)dithioxophosphorane Stabilized by Intramolecular Coordination.

Abstract [2,4-Di-t-butyl-6-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl]dithioxophosphorane was prepared by the reaction of the corresponding phosphine and elemental sulfur. The structure of the dithioxophosphorane was analyzed by X-ray crystallography, which indicated a strong participation of the nitrogen lone pair in the stabilization of the dithioxophosphoryl group.
