1,2σ³λ³-Oxaphosphetanes and Their P-Chalcogenides-A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study.

ABSTRACT: Although 1,2σ⁵λ⁵-oxaphosphetanes have been known for a long time, the "low-coordinate" 1,2σ³λ³-oxaphosphetanes have only been known since their first synthesis in 2018 via decomplexation. Apart from ligation of this P-heterocycle to gold(I)chloride and the oxidation using ortho-chloranil, nothing on their chemistry has been reported so far. Herein, we describe the synthesis of new 1,2σ³λ³-oxaphosphetane complexes (3a-e) and free derivatives (4a-e), as well as reactions of 4a with chalcogens and/or chalcogen transfer reagents, which yielded the P-chalcogenides (14-16a; Ch = O, S, Se). We also report on the theoretical results of the reaction pathways of C-p
