The reaction of phosphines and amides with diethyl azodicarboxylate (DAD) produced phospha-X5-azenes. Thus aromatic amides and those aliphatic amides with electron-withdrawing substituents gave JV-acyl-P, P, P-triphenylphospha-X5-azenes (5) when triphenylphosphine (TPP) was employed. Both aryl-and alkylsulfonamides reacted with TPP and DAD to produce the Ñ-sulfonylphospha-X5-azenes (9). Diphenylphosphinamide (10) and ethyl carbamate (12) also produced the respective phosphazenes (11 and 13) with TPP and DAD. Secondary carboxamides and sulfonamides did not react with TPP and DAD. The reaction of triethyl phosphite with sulfonamides in the presence of DAD produced the phosphorimidates (20) in an analogous reaction, along with the corresponding 2V, lV-diethylsulfonamides and the deethylated adduct of triethyl phosphite and DAD (23). Triethyl phosphite-DAD failed, however, to give a phosphorimidate with carboxamides but gave, instead, the rearranged adduct of DAD and triethyl phosphite (19). Tris (dimethylamino) phosphine reacted with sulfonamides and DAD but the products were the corresponding ethyl IV-sulfonylcarbamates (26) rather than the phosphazenes. Tris (dimethylamino) phosphine reacted with azodicarbonamide (a molecule which contains both the azo and carboxamide groups) with the production of lV, JV-dimethylurea, again without formation of the phosphazene. Finally, the reaction of triphenylarsine with benzenesulfonamideand DAD produced 7V-(phenylsulfonyl) tri-phenylarsa-X5-azene (30) but triphenylstibene with DAD and benzenesulfonamide only gave triphenylstibene oxide. Mechanistic possibilities for these reactions are also discussed.The use of the redox-condensation system diethyl azo-dicarboxylate (DAD)-triphenylphosphine (TPP) is well-established. 2, 3 Elimination of the elements of water is brought about by the combination of a reducing agent (TPP) and an oxidant (DAD). The betaine, 1, is the first formed intermediate in all cases and, when an alcohol is a reactant, 1 reacts with the alcohol to produce the qua-si-phosphonium salt, 3, by way of a pentacoordinate phosphorane. 4-6 An SN2 reaction, where triphenyl-phosphine oxide (TPPO) is the leaving group then follows. Scheme I shows what has been postulated as the mecha-nism5 and includesthe dialkoxyphosphorane (2) which has been shown to be produced from betaine 1 and 2 equiv of the alcohol, ROH. 4, 5 TPP is oxidized to TPPO while DAD is reduced to diethyl hydrazinedicarboxylate (DH2D). The term “condensation” is somewhat misleading as the redox system catalyzes nucleophilicsubstitution which is, in this case, the alkylation by alcohols of centers carrying an acidic hydrogen. This reaction has found general use and has been applied to various acidic substrates (eg, carboxylic acids, phenols, carboximides, activemethylene compounds) with p values to about 11.7 As carboxamides are not acidic enough, it was claimed7 that no alkylation of such amides is possible by this method. However, it was dem-
