The reaction of 1,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,3.5-trimethylbiuret (1) with p-tolylsulfenyl chloride (2) furnished l-(p-tolylthio)-5-trimethylsilyl-1,3,5-trimethylbiuret (3). In the reaction of 3 with phenyldichlorophosphine, 2-phenyl-2-(p-tolylthio)-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triaza-4,6-dione- 2-phosphorinonium chloride (4) was formed. The same product was obtained from the reaction of 2-phenyl-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triaza-2λ3- phosphorin-4,6-dione (6) with p-tolylsulfenyl chloride (2). Compound 4 was isolated and characterized in the form of the hexachloroantimonate (4a). The spirophosphorane 2-phenyl-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triaza-7,10-dioxa-8,9- perchlorobenzo-2λ5-phosphaspiro-[4.5]decan-4,6-dione (7) was prepared by the reaction of 4 with tetrachloroorthobenzoquinone. The new products were characterized by 1H - and 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, 31P NMR spectroscopy in the case of 4a. 6 and 7, and mass spectrometry (4a). Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses of compounds 4a and 7 were conducted. The phosphorus atom of 4a has the expected tetrahedral geometry, with a rather short P-S bond of 204.9(2) pm. In 7 the geometry at phosphorus is almost ideal trigonal bipyramidal. Weak hydrogen bonds are formed from a C (:O) group to deuterochloroform of solvation.
