The stoichiometric control of the reaction of phloroglucinol with different chlorophosphines ClPR 2 , R = iPr (1), tBu (2) or Ph (3), leads to the direct and high yield synthesis of the p-hydroxy functionalized POCOP ligands [C 6 H 3 -5-OH-1,3-(OPR 2 ) 2 ]. Typical reactions of these compounds with NiCl 2 Á6H 2 O provide a facile access to the corresponding POCOP pincer derivatives [NiCl{C 6 H 2 -4-OH-2,6-(OPR 2 ) 2 }], R = iPr (4), tBu (5) or Ph (6).
Molecules of the title compound, C28H22S2, are located on a crystallographic mirror plane with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the naphthyl unit is 83.14 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are interconnected by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯π interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
