Abstract

Linear 1,2,3,4-heterohexatrienes of type H2C=CHP(R)2=NP(R′)2=X (X = O, S) are used in Michael-type additions of various primary or secondary amines and hydrazines. The use of functionalized amines allowed the grafting of other functions, such as a double or a triple bond, a sulfide, an imidazole, or a phenol, and various types of NH2 groups. These groups were used in condensation reactions, leading to the grafting of new functions such as phenols. Thus, the P(R)2=NP(R′)2=X group appears as a new electron withdrawing group, very easily tunable by changing the R′ or X substituents.
