“…73 The use of hexamethylphosphoric triamide instead of CeH6P(NMe2)2 in the reaction with triethylene glycol bis(o-aminophenyl) ether followed by addition of sulfur gives 53 (cis and trans isomers) based on the P2N2 diphosphazane ring (Scheme 30). 74 In the course of this reaction the macrocycles 54a,b and the bismacrocycle 55 are isolated. The synthesis of a cyclic bis(diaminodiphenylphosphonium salt) namely the 2,2,7,7-tetraphenyldecahydro-l,3,6,8,2,7-tetraazadiphosphecine-2,7-diium dibromide (56) consists in the successive reactions of chlorodiphenylphosphine with bromine and then with 1,2-ethanediamine (Scheme 31).…”
